Weekly Tips & Tricks

Hey there,

Transparency is a core tenet of our philosophy, but it shouldn't create a distraction. We’ve heard from leaders who want to track high-stakes numbers—executive-level KPIs or confidential 1:1 goals—without making them company-wide data points.

The new Metric Visibility feature delivers that balance. It gives you the precision to keep the entire company aligned on "Big Wins" while shielding the tactical, sensitive data meant only for specific eyes. It turns your dashboard into a high-signal environment where everyone sees exactly what they need to win.

Why This Matters for Your Execution:

Structured 1:1s: Build great habits across your full team by doing scorecard-style 1:1s. This is an incredible way to train new managers while keeping individual goals and metrics confidential.
Executive Metrics: Monitor the numbers that matter to leadership without causing "spreadsheet anxiety" or unnecessary distraction for the broader organization.
Note: Just a reminder that Huddles remain private to their members by default to keep your team rhythms focused.

Scale Your Team Without Friction

If lack of visibility control was holding you back from onboarding more of your team, that barrier is gone. Start adding your department heads and frontline managers today.
