The question that cuts right to the true north metrics

  • Armando showed me an interesting insight about managing and metrics.
  • Several times, I’ve been in a meeting where someone reports on their metrics and Armando will kindly interrupt and ask something to the effect of, “But what is the number you care most about and why.”
  • He asks them what is the true north they’re optimizing for. He wants to know why it is important to them.
  • It’s such a clarifying and focusing question. By asking it, it cuts out the surface level cruft numbers and vanity metrics and goes right to the person’s core operating strategy and how they measure it.
