KPI

A KPI is the key performance indicator by which progress toward a goal is tracked. It comes from the business world, but it can also be used in personal development; it is the measure by which a person can tell, when they look at it, whether they are advancing. A well-chosen indicator makes effort visible and keeps focus from scattering. A wrongly chosen indicator, on the other hand, pushes a person to chase an unimportant number. The coach works with the client on the question, "By looking at what will you truly know that you are making progress?"
