We talk in the business world about metrics and how the metrics you choose to prioritize drive the behavior of your employees. You have to be sure the metrics you're prioritizing are actually measuring the outcomes you want or you can drive the wrong behavior. All of these economic measurements and will-they-won't-they recession talk brings that to mind although "the economy" is much bigger and more complicated than an individual company of course. Are the economic metrics we prioritize driving the behavior and outcomes we actually want?
Kyla, I think your explanation and discourse on the current economy is better than most! Thank you!
love the Goldbarth
Thanks for writing these!! You are always so insightful and now it even includes poetry <3
this is a great read (with great links as always) but an even better listen from the substack auto-generated narrator lol
Entertaining read.
