Time- and money-based targets donât always serve the purpose we intend. In fact, sometimes, they actively work against us. Today weâre spelunking into a few related principles like Goodhartâs Law, The Cobra Effect, and why vanity metrics are often no more than a hungry ghost lurking in the shadows of your business.
