Most managers track revenue, closed deals, and last month's numbers. By the time those metrics look bad, it's already too late — you're reading an autopsy.
In this episode, Doug Bartlett breaks down why 15 KPIs is the same as tracking nothing, the difference between leading indicators (prevention) and lagging indicators (autopsy), and the exact 3–5 numbers that predict whether your team will hit next month before it's too late to change anything.
What you'll learn: — The 15-metric trap and why it paralyzes your team — Leading vs. lagging indicators and the 2-to-1 ratio — How to build a scorecard that actually drives results — Why hope is not a leadership strategy

Why You Keep Losing Good Employees
Most managers think they’re doing a solid job.
They hire well, set goals, and try to build relationships with their team.
Then a few months go by… and their best people are gone.
It’s frustrating, and it feels like it shouldn’t be happening. But in most cases, it comes down to something simple that gets overlooked.
Consistency.
If you’re not meeting with your people every week in a structured way, things start to slip. Expectations get blurry, accountability fades, and eventually people disconnect.
In this episode, Doug walks through what actually keeps a team engaged and on track. Not theory, not fluff. Just what works.
He breaks down a simple weekly one on one structure you can start using right away, how to keep your team focused without wasting time, and why most managers lose people even when they think they’re doing everything right.
If you lead a team and want better performance without losing good people, this is something you need to lock in.
