Andrew Mason - Stretch [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Now we all know
That you've gotta have goals
Every quarter
Nothing better to drive
The org to align
Around the metrics
That really matter
Writing goals takes some art
But there’s science at the heart
Measure out your best then
Raise so they're a stretch

[Hook]
Your goals should
Bounce bounce bounce
Cause you've stretched them so far out
Quantify your best and then add twenty percent
Stretch it out baby now
You just may surprise yourself

Measurable and controllable
You heard that all before
Now take the numbers
You can hit for sure
And add a little more
Define your key results
No more than three to five to start
The first quarter takes some time
But subsequently you
Just need to update them

[Hook]

[Bishop Lamont]
OK you already know
Only got 90 days
And got a whole lot of goals
Don't you want to win
Don't you want to shine
Don't you want a mansion
And a yacht like mine?
It doesn't come easy
You've got to stay determined
It might look like magic
But I'm not Merlin
You've got to stay focused
And retain that hunger
Or you'll never, ever, ever
Be the next Charlie Munger
There's only one number
And that's number one
If you're not first you're last
And that's no fun
Control those controllables
Close those accounts
Ship my product on time
And let's make large amounts
Action-oriented every day
All the time
So use this opportunity
To get your team aligned
Need I remind
Don't be a victim
Hey you in the back
Come on, pay attention

[Hook]
