As leaders challenge themselves and their
organizations for higher levels of performance,
four questions arise: What needs to be done?
Which capabilities are required? Are we
sufficiently motivated? and
eventually, How are we progressing?
Performance feedback is the
“navigational equipment” that helps us monitor
our course. We must
continually check our instrumentation and then
adjust for emerging conditions.
This issue focuses on the
importance of proactively seeking and responding
to the truth of what is happening. It is
not offered with the naiveté that our excursions
will go as planned, but with the deep conviction
that these journeys can be better
navigated.
