Ep 50: The Power of a Scorecard

32min | 01/23/2026

Description

If you want people to put in effort to win, show them the score. But the opposite is also true - don't give people a score to look at, and watch their performance drop.

Scott in particular shares many personal and historical examples, from a Chick-Fil-A bowling experiment that had people leaving the bowling lanes early, to Andrew Carnegie's famous way of increasing team performance. Also, it's not just enough for leaders to know the score. Just like a basketball team needs to see the score during the game, the people on your team also need to know, "what's the score of the 'game'?"

Scott and Matt also discuss:

How often should leaders share the score? Is there ever a point where it's too much?
What kind of data should be on your scorecard? Simple, or detailed?
How do you connect scoreboard data to your "why," to ensure it's not just arbitrary metrics on a screen?

This episode will give you valuable insight into how transformational sharing the score can really be. Tap into that innate drive we have as humans to win, and watch your team performance reach new heights!
