Leadership Skill – Keeping Score

keeping-score

A good leader knows that keeping score of the important things is the key to success in every area of his/her life. No matter if you’re talking about  your expenses records, your handicap in golf, or the miles/gallon performance of your car, keeping score is not only for information junkies, instead of that, is for the information saavy. 

Let’s take a look at the benefits of keeping score. 

1. You will always know what’s going on.

2. You can have historical knowledge.

3. You can see how much you’ve improved or degraded.

4. You can take action on facts and not on assumptions.

How to Keep Score

1. Define the area where you want to improve.

2. Define what are you going to measure and why?

3. Define how are you going to record the measure.

4. Define how are you going to use that measure.

 

What kind of scores can you create? It depends on your particular needs but let’s see an example.

Say you want to improve your listening skills, 

1. Improving my listening skills

2. The number of times I speak in a meeting. 

3. Placing a mark on a paper every time someone speaks and a special mark every time I speak.

4. I’ll strive to be in the 1:2 radio of me speaking v/s the others speaking for every meeting.

If you keep a record of the next 15 meetings you will improve your listening skills, and also you’ll be able to tell how long it took you to get better at listening. 

LEADERSHIP ACTIONS

1. Find an area where you want to improve, and start keeping score on a particular skill or set of skills.

2. Review and take action to improve your measures. 

Remember Be Alert, Be A Leader :)
