If You Can't See It, You Can't Scale It
May 13, 2025If your team doesn’t know what winning looks like, they’ll aim for staying busy. In this episode of 10-Minute Masterclass, Trey Sheneman unpacks how to build a simple but powerful scorecard that keeps your team focused, aligned, and accountable. Learn the five components of a growth-driven scorecard and the weekly rhythm to keep your business executing, not just planning.
Key Takeaways
- Vision is exciting, but execution pays the bills—scorecards drive execution.
- The moment your team starts measuring, growth becomes predictable.
- 5 components of a powerful scorecard:
- Lagging Metrics – What already happened (revenue, churn, customer count).
- Leading Metrics – What’s coming up (pipeline, demos, calendar).
- Ownership – One person per metric—no shared responsibility.
- Traffic Lights – Color-coded status (green = on track, yellow = needs attention, red = off track).
- Visibility – Ask: what’s on track, what’s off, and what’s the plan? Avoid these 3 mistakes: too many metrics, no context, and no action plan.
