6 Ways Managers Should Use Numbers to Get Their Best Team Result

I am sharing 6 ways managers should use numbers to get their best team results possible. Using numbers in your communication, your feedback and to analyse will help you boost your team’s performance – between 20% and multiples of current team value. 

Using numbers every day in your job will transform how well you can do you job as a manager. I share insights and practical tips on how to use numbers very effectively.

For each for these ways leaders should use numbers to deliver the most value, I touch on how to communicate with numbers to increase team performance and give examples for each. This is not theory but actual practical tips that I have been using for decades in top companies. I explain how to be a better manager and leader using numbers  

6 of the ways managers need to use numbers starts with including them in goals and expectations. This may seem obvious yet so many goals I see (when coaching leaders) don’t have any numbers in them. 

Increasing accountability in teams and individuals in another reason why every manager needs to use numbers. If you have no scale and no way of measuring progress, creating accountability is very hard. 

Another management skill is using numbers in creating specific useful feedback. The better quality your feedback and the more often you provide it, the quicker your team members and the team overall will improve their performance. Feedback is one of the vital communication skills for managers.

Another reason why every manager needs to understand numbers and I would argue – understand financial information – is so they can make better decisions and take better actions. There is not better way than using financial data to ensure your team creates the most profit for a business possible. 

Finally, using numbers and financial numbers is needed to prioritise the most valuable work for you and your team to do. Finance data is the most comprehensive and accurate way to assess the performance of just about anything.
