In a recent post, The Breakfast of Champions, I suggested that it’s no coincidence that where possible we set up visual mechanisms to display what’s happening or what’s been achieved. Something that people can see in picture form is usually better than verbal or written descriptions of how well they are performing. As the saying goes, ‘a picture is worth a thousand words’.

Ken Blanchard is said to have coined the phrase, “Feedback is the breakfast of champions.” A great line, which is surprisingly accurate.
