Metrics are a form of feedback. - [[We need feedback to know if we're making progress or heading in the right way]]. - [[You can't run a marathon without mile markers]]. - [[A goal is a results - a destination. Habits are what get us there.]] - A goal is not the end. You have to keep going. [[The infinite game|The game is infinite]]. - [[Our goals should serve as markers—measurements of the progress we make in pursuit of something greater than ourselves]]. ### Missing goals - What happens if you miss your goal? Nothing. Nothing happens. - "If you miss your goal, the question is, what's the trend?" - [[Missing your goal doesn't mean you've failed. As long as you're putting in the work, you're doing the right things; you just got the date wrong.]] ### How you hit your goals - We need to pay more attention to how we hit the goal. Did you do it ethically? By cutting corners? - Cutting corners to hit a few short term goals will do long term damage to the organization. - Strive to do good for the long run. - [[In the pursuit of greatness, do not fail to do good.]]
