Teasers
“Sometimes a month, 30 days, is not really long enough to see the results of your efforts and you need a little bit longer. And that’s why looking at this on a quarterly basis is a great idea.”
“I really love using a quarterly cadence to look at the big picture of your organization and not get so lost in the details.”
“We don’t want to set pie in the sky goals and not really identify what’s going to hold us back from achieving those goals.”
“If you’re not currently doing some sort of quarterly review with your leadership team at your organization, I would really encourage you to think about that. Because here’s the thing, when everybody understands at least some level of detail on how the organization is performing, they can be an active participant in the solution and working towards the goals.”
