lead & lag measures
- lead & lag measures are a concept that comes from FranklinCovey, where you intentionally distinguish between:
- lag measure
- the outcomes you care about long-term, but that you can't directly move the needle on (such as revenue, or your overall health)
- lead measure
- the actions you can take immediately, that you think will positively affect the lag measures you care about (such as making sales calls, or eating & exercising)
- Malcolm wrote an article a few years ago called Needles you can’t move with your hand, that is about lead & lag measures and how they relate to designing for the emergence of a collaborative culture

- which would mean ability to decisively & profitably execute quickly on new ideas
- effective teamwork with other people who aren't part of the R&D group, including other members of the larger org
- which would mean being able to augment the capacity of other team members by pairing with them or cothinking with them about decisions or designs
- Lead measures would be evolving, but might include:
- developing theoretical and pragmatic answers to relevant questions, like
- (we'd figure out which questions we're trying to answer)
- running a certain number of events and measuring their effectiveness
