Episode 85: People Centred Success Metrics are Key to Getting Results

In this short episode, Sam looks at how changing our mindset around success metrics, moving away from the traditional benchmarks of revenue and productivity and closer to people centred KPIs, is key to getting better results

Walking the talk by heading off to the State Dressage Championships, Sam explores how we can align our own personal goals to those of our businesses, and how looking after ourselves and our health will stand us in better stead to deliver on the goals and outcomes that we set for our businesses.

Using the analogy of weight as a lag indicator of our health, so too is profit and traditional success metrics a lag gauge of what is going on in our businesses and the underlying behaviours. Making the argument that shifting our focus to more individual and people oriented goals will drive better results, Sam sets out a number of success metrics that should be at the forefront of heart centred businesses.

If the key to overcoming fatigue and getting better results is to align individual and business values and goals, then this podcast is essential listening to set you on the right path.

Quotes

“If you can’t measure something, it won’t happen”

“I think this is so important going forward, into these more people centric, heart centred businesses, is to actually develop metrics that are more individual based perhaps, and then also more business based, but understanding the link between the two “

“It’s very hard to be manipulated or actually get off your rails during the day if you’re very clear on what you want to do and what your outcomes are“ 

“Start thinking about the goals that you’re setting and the success and the behaviours that will drive that, and they usually have something to do with the more softer things like your health, your mental well-being and your rest”
