BI for Leadership
"The best definition I can think of for leadership is achieving results through other people. If you follow conventional wisdom, metrics can tell you to what extent these results are achieved - an after-the-fact exercise. But if you do it right, metrics actually drive the behaviors that lead to sound business results. And that is when Business Performance Management becomes a leadership tool."
- Frank Buytendijk, Vice President of Corporate Strategy, Hyperion

If a baseball player gets compensated based on the number of home runs, then every player will emulate Barry Bonds.
If a baseball player gets compensated based on the number of hits, then every player will emulate Suzuki Ichiro.
If a baseball player gets compensaged based on the number of steals, then every player will emulate Ricky Henderson.
If a baseball player gets compensated based on the number of saves, then every player will emulate Mariano Rivera.
If a baseball player gets compensated based on the number of strike outs, then every player will emulate Roger Clemens.
Indeed, metrics motivate people. Leader's job is to choose the right metrics that matter for the organization and monitor them. BI can implement this process and help leaders to effectively motivate people.
Yes, BI for Leadership.
