Notes on the Book- Measure What matters

It's important to re-assess your goals over time. Keep a keen eye on trends and market changes and make adjustments as necessary.

Risks are best taken keeping an organization's core capabilities in mind. Make sure you consider the available data and operate within your company's unique skill set.

Keep your goals simple and clear. Clear objectives are more motivating and sharable.

Invest time in understanding what motivates your individual teammates. Understanding their unique motivations can help you align their incentives with your organization's objectives.

Set goals that seem beyond reach. As a leader, your job is always to look towards what comes next, no matter how daunting or impractical.

People perform best when they feel valued. Offer feedback continuously and generously and encourage opinions and self-designed performance plans.

Notes on Storytelling 220322

 By Paul Smith

Stories offer a way to draw an emotional connection between the listener and a particular situation. Use stories to motivate your team by showing a path forward rather than telling.

Tell a story with a conflict that matches the conflict your team may be experiencing. For example, use a story about trailblazing to motivate team members to trailblaze.

Your cultural mythology includes stories to draw upon at different times. When your team is suffering setbacks and needs a boost of courage, tell them the story of the US president who lost more elections than he won—Abraham Lincoln.

Folktales have universal themes that transcend eras and ages. Tell a story to inspire team members to face their fears and make progress.

An unhealthy concern with what other people think can become a debilitating anxiety. Stories about overcoming a concern with what other people are thinking can help team members focus on what matters.

Stories hold lessons. To make your story relevant and inspiring, draw a parallel between your story and your company at that moment.

You don't always get a second chance. There may be times when a story can help you inspire teammates to tackle each opportunity as if it were their last.

A leader's job is to keep people focused during times of trouble. True stories about overcoming real setbacks can help you motivate your team through frustration and disappointment.

Notes on Management 160222

 Inspiration comes from deep within you, create effortless energy. Motivation comes from being pushed, by self(ego) or external force. You may like or not like the thing you are being motivated for.

The availability heuristic, also known as availability bias, is a mental shortcut that relies on immediate examples that come to a given person's mind when evaluating a specific topic, concept, method or decision.The retrievability and ease of recall biases indicate that the availability bias can substantially and unconsciously influence our judgment. We too easily assume that our recollections are representative and true and discount events that are outside of our immediate memory.

Social loafing refers to the concept that people are prone to exert less effort when working collectively as part of a group compared to performing a task alone. Social loafing is more evident in tasks where the contribution of each group member is combined into a group outcome, making it difficult to identify the contribution of a single person.

Scope creep (also called requirement creep, or kitchen sink syndrome) in project management refers to changes, continuous or uncontrolled growth in a project's scope, at any point after the project begins. This can occur when the scope of a project is not properly defined, documented, or controlled.

Net promoter score (NPS, rarely Net Promo Score) is a widely used market research metric that typically takes the form of a single survey question asking respondents to rate the likelihood that they would recommend a company, product, or a service to a friend or colleague. The NPS assumes a subdivision of respondents into "promoters" who provide ratings of 9 or 10, "passives" who provide ratings of 7 or 8, and "detractors" who provide ratings of 6 or lower. Usually, users of the NPS perform a calculation that involves subtracting the proportion of detractors from the proportion of promoters collected by the survey item, and the result of the calculation is typically expressed as an integer rather than a percentage
