[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 892408, member: 282"] I have worked at companies that used metrics and goals well, and companies that may have been worse off for having them. Even if the leader came out of an effective organization, it’s easy to take all the wrong lessons. I’ve seen leaders confuse the measures for the goals. The problem with that is that you either don’t make real progress to your goals, or you don’t recognize when you have the wrong path or metrics. I’ve seen leaders manage to the measures. When people see they’re rewarded for metrics instead of the goals, some work to inflate the metrics, and the people who aim for the goal feel unsupported. In a number of other ways, I’ve seen leaders who don’t understand how to use numbers. All models are wrong; some are useful. Metrics and models align in that sense. [/QUOTE]
