If you're a boss, you know that every day is a challenge to do better. This tip is based on the same research I used to develop my programs and the Working Supervisor's Support Kit .

Beat yesterday

Salespeople know about "Beat Yesterday" books. That's where you track sales every day and try to, yep, "beat yesterday." It's a great way to keep yourself motivated and honest.

There's no reason that the salespeople should have all the fun. Create your own "beat yesterday" book or maybe a "beat yesterday" spreadsheet. Then track your key performance indicators.

Here are the rules.

Track your three most important indicators, no more.

Keep your gathering information time to under 10 minutes a day.

Review daily and weekly.

Got it? OK, now go beat yesterday.
