nicely written

good way to write post,

benefits on one hand,

pitfalls on the other..


four-four points


normally people always only write the good part,

but leave out the bad..


i like that this post highlights some shortcommings:
"

  1. Not Everything That Counts Can Be Counted: While metrics are important, not everything valuable can be boiled down to a number. Aspects like company culture, employee morale, and brand perception are challenging to measure accurately but are essential.
  2. Overemphasis on What's Measurable: If an organization only focuses on measurable aspects, it might overlook other crucial elements. There's a risk of becoming too myopic, missing out on the bigger picture.
  3. False Sense of Control: Just because something is being measured doesn’t mean it's under control. Relying too heavily on metrics might give a misleading sense of mastery over a situation.
  4. Potential for Manipulation: When performance is tied to specific metrics, it can incentivize behaviors aimed at improving those numbers, sometimes at the cost of genuine progress or ethical considerations."

well written
