Legibility
David Perrell’s outstanding “Mega Thread” on Twitter includes a concept called legibility. David writes,
Legibility We are blind to what we cannot measure. Not everything that counts can be measured, and not everything that can be measured counts. But people manage what they can measure, so society repeats the same mistakes.
People and organizations tend to have a blind spot when it comes to the immeasurable. Furthermore, they have a bias towards managing only the measurable.
In corporate and industrial real estate, we tend to measure a lot of things and like to manage them. However, when we talk about our people and places contributing to the purpose or mission of the organization, we should not forget the immeasurable qualities about them.
Data and managing measurable information undoubtedly can contribute to your personal and organizational success. But making sure you look beyond the measurable aspects of what you do, and how you do it, is the only way to see the entire pathway towards your purpose and mission.
