Have you ever noticed that some of the great stuff you want to show up in your business is not easily measured? It's easy to measure quantities, of money, production, sales calls, numbers of time the phone rings before it's answered... Because it's easier, businesses tend to default to measuring and managing only straightforwardly quantifiable things.
Quantifiable stuff has to be measured in business, it's true. You'd be failing in your accountability to your bosses, your bankers and your shareholders if you didn't do it. And by and large most business leaders make a pretty good job of measuring the results these people wish to see.
But these alone don't tell you that everything you want to happen is happening. What about teamwork, values, customer service, people's attitudes? Of course, if a thing is worth doing, the value will fall to the bottom line - eventually. However, bottom-line results take longer to show up - they are ‘lagging indicators' of business success. By the time you've missed your revenue target, it's by definition too late to do something about it, this time around. And it's sometimes possible in the short term to produce apparently good bottom-line results by using inappropriate business practices, which will in the longer term actually damage your business.

So how do You Measure the ‘Other Stuff'?
How do you measure that you are making progress in all those good things you instinctively know are at the root of a successful, satisfying, sustainable business?

You will find there is a remarkable correlation between people's ‘gut feel' about what constitutes great teamwork, or good customer service, for example. People are by and large operating from a set of reproducible criteria.
With a bit of rigorous thinking, you can come up with a set of clear objective statements for the target behaviour. Then it's a short step to being able to note instances of the behaviour being employed, to setting targets for increasing the incidence of the behaviour, and to creating plans for improving performance.
