Be Careful What You Measure

Last week, Wells Fargo fired remote employees for simulating keyboard activity to meet computer usage hours. This highlights the issue of measuring the wrong metrics leading to unintended consequences. For example, tracking weight loss instead of focusing on fat loss and muscle retention can result in unhealthy practices. It’s important to choose the right metrics for our goals and evaluate progress holistically. What we measure influences our actions, so let’s track what truly matters for our success and well-being. Share your experiences with tracking metrics that didn’t align with your goals and how you shifted focus to prioritize the right ones. -Steve
