If you measure the wrong thing, you will do the wrong thing. In the 90s, Gordon Bethune saved Continental airlines from bankruptcy with this principle. The airline was tanking and they put all their effort in the goal to increase profitability. In order to do that, the airline was focused on measuring the cost of different operations in order to cut down. When Bethune took over, he changed the metrics to measure from cost of operations, to metrics related to customer satisfaction such as number of luggage lost, number of complaints and on-time arrival. With this shift, Bethune brought continental from the brink of bankruptcy to being the top leading airline. From worst to first, simply by looking at the right metrics. Same goal, different metrics, opposite outcomes. What if your ability to turn your health around depended simply on shifting what you're tracking?
