Interaction 

Six simple metrics focus on the effectiveness of interpersonal and team interactions, one of the chief hidden costs of business: Alignment Index - our ability to minimize the number of interactions, saving work for other issues; Dynamic Interaction - how changing team composition affects the interaction burden composed of new and lost interactions, Team Advantage - whether we achieve benefits from manipulating team composition, Entrepreneur Index - our ability to maintain personal opportunity and entrepreneurship amidst increasing job differentiation and empowerment erosion, Relationship Index - our ability to move beyond mere interactions to relational excellence, and Number of Interactions, revealing how much you'll spend on relationships. These metrics are shown below.

[Specific examples and applications are discussed in the book.]
