Measurements that matter

I’ve often heard it said that “You can’t manage what you don’t measure”. Yet there are some things in life that we measure that may be best ignored – like age or height or earnings.

And there are other things that we don’t measure that perhaps we should – like smiles or kindnesses or friendships.

“Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.”

George Carlin

Are you measuring the things that really matter at work – as well as outside your work?
