Why measure performance?

“If you don’t measure results, you can’t tell success from failure

If you can’t see success you can’t reward itIf you can’t reward success, you’re probably

rewarding failureIf you can’t see success, you can’t learn from itIf you can’t recognise failure, you can’t correct itIf you can demonstrate results, you can win public

supportWhat gets measured gets done.”
