Great post over on strategyaudit’s blog essentially on sustainability of targets.
He is truly ‘right on’ with this. I read Thomas Freidman’s new book, “Hot, Flat and Crowded” over the New Year break and he makes the same points very well around business and individual performance targets which have a sustainability aspect to them vs. IBGYBG.
Fred Kofman in “Conscious Business” also talks about “success beyond success”.
Metrics / target-setting as a driver of inappropriate short-term behaviour is an important area of leadership and I intend to discuss this topic of what ‘Real Success’ looks in the next episode of VLTV.
