“When a measure becomes a target, it ceases
to be a good measure.”– Charles Goodhart
A bit of troubling retrospection -- we have all been setting
goals for a long time, and many of them are measurement based. Personal
satisfaction, balance, and even sustainability are the sorts of targets we should
strive to attain; but as I review documents for companies, institutions, and
individuals; Measures—performance measures more than anything else, dominate.
Not IMHOP a formula for long term success.
