## Resource

Most teams track dozens of numbers but miss the few that move outcomes. In this episode, Brad Hall explains leading vs lagging indicators in plain language and shows how to choose a single predictive metric your team can influence weekly. You’ll learn how to build a one‑screen dashboard anyone can read in 60 seconds, run a 15‑minute feedback loop to course‑correct, and avoid common traps like vanity metrics and tool sprawl. We wrap with a simple 30/60/90 rhythm and a week‑one checklist you can deploy immediately to turn data into momentum.
