Whether you work at a small tech startup or a large, established manufacturer, there is an implicit understanding that business success can be easily quantified. Whether you are a CEO or a sales representative, the common wisdom is that there are identifiable numbers that can objectively determine if you are a success or a failure.
In a world full of endless layers of nuance and opinion, tangible metrics of business performance are irresistibly attractive. However, there are serious limitations to taking such a binary approach to measuring success. This black and white approach to measuring business success is actually counterproductive, particularly if the goal is to achieve transformative performance improvement.
Rather than employing an overly simplistic and inherently flawed approach to assessing the job performance of your employees, there needs to be a system that recognizes and encourages both outright success and concerted effort towards a goal.
OQSIE refers to this as 5 Rules of Engagement for Breakout Performance:
- Hit Your Goals
- Improve
- Clear & Credible Plan
- Ask for Help
- Red Zone
These rules are designed to assess how someone is performing right now, while also providing the tools, skills, and encouragement required to continuously improve.
