You get what you measure!!! We need to help people move away from the era of the simplistic mindset for motivation by sweet carrot/sharp stick. Systems must reward output and patterns of behavior that lead to sustainability. We should view teams as systems that have different performances and outputs on different landscapes. These teams are expensive to assemble and tune up. Once you have one of these valuable assets foolish measurement systems will ruin them. And that is fiscally irresponsible!!
