Measuring Effectiveness
Measuring Effectiveness
Measuring effectiveness is a critical component of achieving your goals and building a high-performance organization. It is the process of tracking your key activities and outcomes to see what is working and what is not.
The Principle: "People Respect What You Inspect"
This is a recurring theme that is also a key principle of People Respect What You Inspect. When you consistently measure and inspect a particular activity, you send a clear message to your team that it is important.
