This pitfall is evident in many areas of life.
We focus on working long hours instead of getting meaningful work done.
We care more about getting ten thousand steps than we do about being healthy.
We teach for standardized tests instead of emphasizing learning, curiosity, and critical thinking.
大家之所以关注成绩,标准答案而忽略了学习的真正要义、好奇心及升入的思考能力,就是因为我们高考只看考试成绩。
In short, we optimize for what we measure.
When we choose the wrong measurement, we get the wrong behavior
错误的KPI,错误的衡量标准,会导致错误的行为方式。
This is sometimes referred to as Goodhart’s Law. Named after the economist Charles Goodhart, the principle states,
“When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.”
Measurement is only useful when it guides you and adds context to a larger picture, not when it consumes you. Each number is simply one piece of feedback in the overall system
