Crucial Talks Episode 31 Top Gun Day! Lagging vs Leading Indicators and using Appreciative Inquiry

Lagging indicators measure outcomes. Things that have already happened. Leading indicators measure inputs so that we can try to impact outcomes before they happen. Appreciative Inquiry, because it focuses on a strength-based, positive approach to change in human-based systems can help us when we are working on developing leading indicators. It's Mother's Day 2018, which coincidentally falls on Top Gun Day. So in this episode, we get to hear a clip from Top Gun to have a better understanding of lagging indicators (High speed passes over 5 air control towers and 1 Admiral's daughter). To have me speak to your organization or help you with using Appreciative Inquiry to develop leading indicators, please visit www.crucialtalks.com. I'd love to hear from you!
