Question Answered step-by-step Evidence-based management relies heavily on numbers. The benchmarks,strategic and unit scorecards, and goals are all quantitative. A number of questions arise about such a quantitative approach. A competent professional manager has to be able to answer them at several levels of sophistication. (The chief of surgery and the chair of the board will expect more specifics than the kitchen workers, but servant leadership obligates leaders to answer both the questioners’ satisfaction.) Assume your answers are for your immediate boss. -Are these the right measures? If not, what would your recommend? If so, why? -How do I know my team can influence the measures? (Don’t they include a lot of things outside our control?) -Can we really get better? (If we set a goal, how do we know we can reach it?) -Will the leadership punish us for not reaching our goals?
