summary

Claims a shift from vague “efficiency” to concrete tradeoffs between Effectiveness and efficiency and gives a repeatable process: map the org, set clear success criteria (the flashlight), measure current state (GPS) and watch changes. Recommends choosing 3–4 shared metrics (mix leading/lagging, e.g. DORA signals), asks HR for cost per employee hour, runs biannual reviews, weekly boss updates via a push-template, a 30‑minute Friday strategy window, and publishes a cheat sheet and bitly link with templates and metric guidance.
