Principle 2: Measure the Important Things
Continuously track progress to achieve results with an improvement mindset.
WHY?
To continuously improve as an individual or an organization, we must know the starting place. If we do not know where to begin, how do we know what our achievable but challenging goal will be? Measuring the important things indicates that we do not measure everything. We focus instead on measuring what will inform improvement efforts. When we measure what matters, we can easily focus on what is important.
