One of the most useful management tools is the use of feedback loops. Feedback involves some mechanism that provides you with data on whether your actions are focused towards your objective. When you’re off track, a well designed feedback loop gives you some kind of indicator. When you’re on track, the same feedback loop provides confirmation to give you confidence you’re heading in the right direction.
