KPI Autopsy: When Metrics Eat Your Calendar

Dr Disruptor peels back the laminate on KPIs to reveal their true life cycle: born in a boardroom, raised on PowerPoint, weaponized in performance reviews. This episode is a forensic monologue that shows how innocent-seeming metrics go rogue, reward the wrong behavior, and turn your calendar into a KPI farm. Listeners get a clear translation layer—how to tell when a metric measures real impact versus optics—plus three humane, jargon-friendly scripts to push back without becoming the office villain. The Survivor voice grounds the satire with practical office survival gear: quick sanity checks to spot metric theater, a mini-checklist to detox your team’s dashboard, and step-by-step guidance to reframe conversations toward human outcomes. Entertaining, sharp, and actionable, this episode helps you stop chasing hollow numbers and start measuring what actually matters, while keeping your sanity intact.
