📖 今天要学习的句子
Measure the Right Thing KNOWING WHEN (AND WHEN NOT) TO TRACK A HABIT Say you're running a restaurant and you want to know if your chef is doing a good job. One way to measure success is to track how many customers pay for a meal each day. If more customers come in, the food must be good. If fewer customers come in, something must be wrong. However, this one measurement—daily revenue—only gives a limited picture of what's really going on. Just because someone pays for a meal doesn't mean they enjoy the meal. Even dissatisfied customers are unlikely to dine and dash. In fact, if you're only measuring revenue, the food might be getting worse but you're making up for it with marketing or discounts or some other method. Instead, it may be more effective to track how many customers finish their meal or perhaps the percentage of customers who leave a generous tip.
衡量正确的事情 知道何时(以及何时不)追踪一个习惯 假设您正在经营一家餐厅,并且您想知道您的厨师是否做得很好。衡量成功的一种方法是跟踪每天有多少顾客为一顿饭付费。如果客人多了,食物一定会很好吃。如果进来的顾客少了,一定是出了什么问题。 然而,这一衡量标准(每日收入)只能有限地反映实际情况。仅仅因为有人付钱吃饭并不意味着他们喜欢这顿饭。即使是不满意的顾客也不太可能就餐并匆匆忙忙。事实上,如果你只衡量收入,食物可能会变得更糟,但你可以通过营销、折扣或其他方法来弥补。相反,跟踪有多少顾客吃完饭或者留下慷慨小费的顾客百分比可能更有效。
