Day 15: Measure Backwards

Team Love 28 Days Social (6)

For visionary leaders, there is nothing more exciting than to craft that new North Star. An inspiring image that pulls our organizations forward into new, compelling futures. A critical part of transformation.

Often, forward moving leaders propel the organization beyond what might have been possible. But, measuring our success against that always moving target on the horizon can be demoralizing to team members. We never seem to close that gap.

Instead, capturing strong starting points from the very beginning allows us to measure true forward progress -- by looking backward for improvement and not to the distant horizon. Celebrating wins along the way and the distance already covered -- builds confidence and momentum. Look forward, but measure progress backwards.
