The Tyranny of Metrics

Unquestionably one of my more compelling reads this year.

A reminder that while data of course has value - for the measurement of the quantifiably measurable - so much of what’s most important, most meaningful and most valuable defies distillation into an empirical data point…

A sense of clarity
A sense of purpose
A feeling of confidence
Of being inspired
Of desire
Of motivation
And more

Show me a number that can quantify any one of these.

Patrick McGoohan in “The Prisoner” had it right.

Working through this video program [High Impact Speaking] has made a huge difference to my speaking. After my conference presentation, I had so many executives telling me: 'I want you to come and work for my organization'.... I can't count how many people told me my presentation was THE best.
