Expert & Quantify
Hey, I’ve been compiling a spreadsheet that tracks our office drama—color coded, time stamped, all that. Want to see if we can predict the next hot topic before it even pops up?
You’re spinning a story where there’s no story. Stop feeding the gossip machine and start measuring results. If you really want to anticipate a problem, track metrics that matter—missed deadlines, churn, or productivity dips. Drama is noise, performance is signal. Focus on the numbers that drive the business, not the next headline.
Sure, I’ll shut off the gossip dashboard, but I’m keeping the drama chart for my own sanity. Meanwhile, I’ll be crunching missed deadlines, churn, and productivity dips so we can see which of those metrics actually moves the needle. Let’s keep the noise at bay and the numbers in focus.
