If You Don’t Measure It, You Won’t Improve It

Whenever you set personal, team, or organizational goals and objectives, make sure the results you expect to achieve are crystal clear for everyone involved. Once your desired results are clearly identified, measure progress toward achievement of those desired results on a regular basis. What gets measured, gets done. Of course, progress toward some results is easier to measure than others—for example, tracking revenue or profit is easier than tracking customer satisfaction or employee engagement. Nonetheless, the principle stands: if you don’t measure it, you won’t improve it.

In our work with clients on Accountability Training, Leadership Development, and Results Achievement, we often deal with questions such as: How do you measure accountability? How do you measure alignment? How do you measure commitment and engagement? How do you measure empowerment? or How do you measure the culture stuff? To find our answers, go to our website to find out how we help clients establish key results for increasing revenue and profit or achieving strategic initiatives such as customer satisfaction and employee engagement. You can also visit our assessments page to discover how we help clients measure progress toward building greater accountability, alignment, and commitment for achieving those key results.

We offer complimentary assessments on our website to help you determine how well you, your team, and your organization demonstrate the principles and best practices of accountability as presented in the New York Times Bestsellers: The Oz Principle; Change the Culture, Change the Game; and How Did That Happen? You can use these assessments to find out how well your team or organization is practicing the principles of results-focused accountability by selecting the assessment you want, sending a link to all of your team members, and then viewing the results. You can also compare your team’s score to other teams or to the general population of assessment respondents. Yes, desired results such as building greater accountability can be measured, so start measuring it today.
