CarTalk with Kartik #265: Why Dashboards Mislead CEOs

Are our KPIs actually driving revenue? That’s the question one of the CEOs I work with asked me recently. Having worked with over 50 CEOs, fueling millions in revenue growth, here’s my answer.

Most teams track activity, not impact. Real growth happens when your KPIs prove influence. Metrics like pipeline impact, customer adoption, and win enablement tie your strategy directly to revenue. When KPIs tell a clear story, they align teams, sharpen decisions, and elevate marketing from support function to growth driver.

If your metrics do not change executive conversations, they are not the right metrics. And more often than not, that’s why dashboards mislead CEOs.
