Develop a system that drives performance.

“The idea of weekly metrics is to keep your team on track with achieving results in real time. Accountants tend to be skeptical of this approach because they are used to measuring performance retrospectively, when all the information is in for the month or the quarter.”

Analyze your financial targets and break them into weekly parameters for different roles and employees. This can include creating a scoreboard for senior executives and departments. Construct a game out of reaching your targeted metrics, and encourage your employees to win every week and every quarter.
