Performance measurement is everywhere-in sports, business, and
religion-as well as in government. Baseball, for example, offers a
multitude of measures to assess the performance of individual
players-even to the point of recording where in the field each hitter's
ball lands during a season and using the dispersion as an indicator of
when it's time to trade the player.

Measuring efficiency is expected to lead to greater efficiency and
measuring outcomes is supposed to lead to better outcomes, but we
don't always get the results we expect. In public administration we
are aware that some measures are reactive and that the ways people
react when their performance is measured are not always positive
behaviors. We should spend time in thinking about this dark side of
performance measurement and about how to design measurement
systems that minimize these unintended bad effects.
