followed:• Priorities – the balance of short and long term
goals.• Data – in order to know you are working on
your priorities, you need feedback in terms of real information or data. There are some Smart Numbers which give you an idea long term of the business and there are the Critical Numbers which are more short term. So balance the short & long term through numbers!
