Leader KPIs - Not What You Think!

Timothy Dean Smith, Leadership Speaker, Coach and Podcast Host

About this episode

"Send me a text message and let me know what you think of the First-Time Leaders Accelerated℠ Podcast."

Today our conversation will be about a concept I pioneered, called Leader KPIs.

KPI is a business acronym that’s been around for decades. KPI stands for Key Performance Indicator. These indicators are about numbers. Numbers used to measure performance and make decisions.

So, what do you think I mean by Leader KPIs? I’ll give you a hint, the Leader KPIs have nothing to do with numbers and everything to do with feelings. Three specific feelings, Appreciation, Inspiration and Fulfillment.

If you find my insight valuable, please share this podcast with others.

Treat people like they make a difference and they will.
