Getting Things Done and a Lot of Questions

A Wise man once told me “if you wnat to get things done, you have to measure it.” Is that true? Have we wondered so far from our parents work ethic that the only way our employers can be assured things get done is to put performance measures on us? So if we measure and use positive reinforcement does that make measurement better? As opposed to not so good if negative reinforcement were used.

I tend to try to put a positive spin on most everyting. So, what if we were incentified? Would that work? Would that help us to work smarter or harder? You knowwhat I mean, the better I do the more money I make? I think yes! Most people in this life will work harder or smarter if they can better themselves. Therefore measures must be used as tools for improvement and quality and not as a club.

So as business owners are we using measurement as a good thing or a bad thing? Do we share the results? Should we? What is gained from sharing measured results? Today I’m kind of like the kid who always asks why. Let me know what you think.
