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.

This black-and-white approach to measuring business success is actually counterproductive, particularly if the goal is to achieve transformative performance improvement.
