Measure momentum.
The metrics we have to measure success aren't wrong - they're just incomplete.

I have worked in some of the largest organizations in India - one in the Fortune 500 list, and I found this message on "Trust" to be so relevant! Trust and Integrity are more important for sustainable success and overall team morale than just hollow business success parameters. Thank you, Simon Sinek for reinforcing this belief.

@vamonarch4740 4 жыл бұрын

Valuable insights! I've left organizations that were more concerned with "looking good" rather than actually "being good". All the perceptual BS gets us nothing but unsustainable, short-term gains and self-delusion.

In the eastern mind, performance and personal integrity is one and the same, that was how leaders were picked in the ancient times. In the western mind, you can performa at work and be totally be moral-less person and it is accepted. Just an interesting thought. Thanks for sharing Simon.

This is the complete opposite of how Sprint operates. All they care about is if you hit sales metrics, they don't care how you obtain them. They don't care about who you step on to get it, and in return they reward you. Its despicable. Whoever can fudge their metrics the best will eventually become management, and they will in turn teach their team to fudge metrics. They'll parade one of the highest earners who I found suspect and guess what? After an investigation, was caught committing sales fraud but yet they still parade him to everyone as who we should all aspire to be. People are so afraid of given the absolute that metrics MUST be hit that they'll do every low brow action to obtain them. Walking prospects who aren't buying items to create higher margins. Sliding subscriptions under the table without the client knowing. "reduce and replacing" without disclosing it to the customer isn't sales, its just playing the system, and in the end, its just lying. The company is near collapse and years of practicing these horrible metric management has destroyed a 100 yr old company in the past 20 years.
