5- Questions. Are we measuring up?

What do you do when something just isn’t working? By what do we determine "it’s not working." I had two lengthy conversations today that made me ask several questions:

1- How do you know if something is working?

2- What do you measure to determine if it is successful?

3- How do we know what we are measuring is really what should be measured?

4- Is it always important to measure?

5- How do you make a decision about something that can’t be measured?

I don’t have all the answers to all the issues that theses questions should be applied too. Just asking myself these questions made me think in ways I hadn’t thought before.

When you ask yourself these questions, do you think about something you haven’t before?
