Have you heard, "You can't improve what you can't measure" or "You are what you measure"?  Do you agree?  If so, why is it so challenging to use them?  

If you have issues infusing metrics and measures into your teams or organizations, you are not alone, and there's good news....this episode is for you!

On this episode or Real. Technical. Midwest., Jason Montague, Neal Sample, and Patrick Gaynor tackle the beloved (and dreaded) metrics.  We discuss metric examples, which might help, and why context is vital.  We then share where many leaders run into trouble with metric anti-patterns, unintended consequences, how metrics are easily gamed, and how to avoid demotivating your teams.

Take a listen and let us know what you think!
