The Easy Metric

Tokens were our gateway to playing games.

Now they are the measure of our work and efficiency.

They don’t have to be, they shouldn’t be, but right now, many companies are looking at token consumption as a successful metric for adoption.

Why?

Because it’s easy, it’s one thing, easy to count, easy to add, easy to subtract, and it gives you a nice number.

The easy metrics have always been eschewed by leaders because they only measure what is easy, and not what is right.

Accountability.

Value.

Responsibility.

Leadership.

Commitment.

These are the values that we have always wanted in our team, but take so much work to quantify.

Good, if they are hard to quantify, they are worth it.
