Measurement time is what holds productivity together. The more you let it slide the less your team respects you or themselves. If you are also managing a team or even just managing yourself its time to fall in love with reporting. As Ziggy Marley so elegantly puts it “You don’t know you’re winning unless you know the score.” The question is, what do you need to measure on your team. Here are 5 things to look at.
