Measurement and KRA

A leader obsessed with measuring performance will always be in the hunt

For success and glory

Measurement works only so much

And we all want much more

That what is measured is often not important

And the most important things are those that cannot be measured

Inspiration is not measured but perspiration is

Attendance can be measured but not attention.

A sales visit can be measured but not the sales pitch.

Love cannot be measured but can change lives

Too much of measurement of the petty makes no job pretty.

KRAs can be the biggest sucker of performance if used as a measurement tape.

We measure because we want to be sure

Howsoever hard we may try, "certainty" will remain elusive.

Only if Leaders cared to connect instead of chasing "certainty"

Only if Leaders cared to love

KRAs would get achieved without the need to measure
