Michael,
A few thoughts….
You are really good at this. Thanks for delivering such a great show every week.
1. Loved the discussion of balancing fun environment with accountability
2. “Magic of small numbers”=gold
3. Loved the discussion about the “high commit metric”-great insights into the significance of a single metric relative to business success. I believe there is a similar discussion in the book “Moments”.
4. “I’m the one who shows up everyday”-loved that part.
Thanks so much for the kudos, Jeff! So glad that you’re finding the conversations valuable. 🙂
I love your re-caps! I too have been thinking about how to narrow my key metrics and focus on a single number by which to drive the businesses. It’s a great reminder that we should all strive for simplicity whenever possible.
