Book Cover & Preview Text
You never know from where you get motivating ideas, sometimes even children’s basic lessons teach a lot of philosophy. One such is shown below from Lewis Carroll’s “Alice in Wonderland”:
Alice says to the Cheshire cat, “Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here? Is this the right way?"
"That depends a lot on where you want to go," said the cat.
"I don’t know where I’m going," said Alice...
“Then it doesn't matter which way you go,” said the Cat.
“--so long as I get SOMEWHERE,” Alice added as an explanation.
“Oh, you're sure to do that,” said the Cat, “if you only walk long enough.”
We many times in business lose focus and don’t know where to go. To avoid this, experts emphasise on performance measurement and eventually manage it effectively. The term performance measurement is defined in various ways. However most of the definitions indicate that we need to measure the performance in order to improve the future position, processes and decisions.
