## Resource

Every Measurement Creates An Incentive Every measurement begins by observing something. Over time, many begin influencing it. ------ In this episode, we explore the relationship between metrics, incentives, behaviour and organisational adaptation. ~ Why targets quietly become strategies. ~ Why systems learn what receives attention. ~ And why the most important question may not be: ”What are we measuring?” But: “What behaviour is this measurement teaching?” A conversation about metrics, incentives and the subtle ways organisations learn. ------ Stay Tuned… Regards, Top Voice Maido & Kon'nichiwa min'na! 👶🏻🧑🏻‍🦱👩🏻‍🦳 Wie Geht's guys? Mir geht's gut!!! ✌️🤘🙌 #SystemsThinking #Leadership #OperationalExcellence #OrganizationalDesign #Business
