Six Steps to Better Metrics
Do you have metrics in place to measure your job performance? Do your team members have their own measurements in place for their goals?
Metrics and measurements are a vital part of working towards a goal, individually and collectively. Without metrics, how are you supposed to know what you’re striving for? When team members have clear measurements in place for their role and understand how they will be quantified, goals don’t appear as lofty and motivation rises. Clear metrics make for a happy team and a happy and effective leader.
In this episode, I dive into the details of my “Six Steps to Better Measurement” that I live by and use in my own personal and professional goals. Tune in to Episode 2 to learn about the importance of metrics, the six steps, and my challenge for you this week.
