back with a “5 minute Friday” audio edition
key concepts I cover in this snippet:
the point of a north star (clarity, progress, accountability)
managing your career (take ownership vs go with flow)
stages of sophistication (KPIs, OKRs, direct impact, indirect reach)
example personal metrics (income, impact, NPS, network strength)
I’d love to hear from listeners about their personal north star metrics - please chime in via comments👇. And if you enjoyed this post, please consider subscribing.
