How to use metrics to stay focused within a vision.
The secret to stay focused within a vision is to find metrics that make your achievements seem small.
This may seem a little crazy. Often we want to celebrate our and our teams achievements. We don’t want people to lose heart in the goal. So there is a balance to be achieved here.
We can have the various goals that reward and motivate performance along the path but also never lose sight of the vision.
To this end I heard a senior executive of Pandora Radio www.pandora.com stating that despite their magnificent growth figures they still only had about 2% of the total radio hours in the USA. So the metrics of growth, number of new subscribers were motivating metrics along the path but the overall metric of share of radio hours keeps them focused on their long term vision. If there was not the metric of radio hour share then they could be distracted by their achievements. It could lead to complacency.
It is still necessary to celebrate the progress but also staying focused on the vision is important.
What metric do you have to make your achievements seem small and keeps you focused within a vision?
