Time for new metrics for leadership
Microsoft just became the most valuable company in the world.
This made big headlines, though very few people know the name of their CEO and few of the articles truly got into why his radically different style of humble leadership has been at the heart of that transformation. Yes, humility in leadership at the heart of the most highly valued company in the world.
My homepage begins with the words:
“Command-and-control leadership is losing its grip. A new way of thinking is emerging: leadership that embraces change as constant, encourages individual thought, relies on intuition more than data, fluidity more than hierarchy, trust more than fear, and the common good more than profit.”
Naturally, I’ve then written about new ways of leading, new ways of valuing, new ways of measuring what matters. Today, then, I’ll tie together some thoughts from earlier articles.
- how the CEO of Microsoft understands this
- how Patagonia also “gets” this, and
- how the broader corporate world doesn’t, and are still largely using dated metrics.
Time for change.

We are what we measure — time for change
