THE PLAY OF THE WEEK
“You can’t BS the scoreboard.”
These words from an NHL player carry a profound truth for business leaders. Just as sports have clear metrics for success, your business needs meaningful measurements to drive real results.
The challenge is, many of us are tracking the wrong things. We count hours worked, emails sent, and meetings attended, but these metrics don’t necessarily correlate with success or impact.
It’s time to change the game by changing what we measure. Instead of focusing on activity metrics, successful leaders track impact metrics—the numbers that actually matter to their business growth and team development.
The scoreboard doesn’t lie, but are you watching the right one?
