All leaders have an eye on their business KPI’s like revenues, growth rates, profit margins, stock price etc. But what about those numbers that indicate your personal performance and recovery status?

1. every
MODERN LEADER
should have an eye on…
4 KPI’s

2. “What Gets Measured
Gets Managed.”
- Peter Drucker

3. All leaders
have an eye on their business
KPI’s like revenues, growth rates,
profit margins, stock price etc.

4. But what about those numbers
that indicate your personal
performance and recovery
status?

5. Modern leaders have an eye on
these key recovery indicators
(KRI’s) as well BECAUSE…

6. … they understand that they can only
make an impact as a leader when they
manage to sustain their energy levels,
performance and health on a high level
over the long term.

7. So here are
4 KRI’s
to get you started…

8. 4 KRI’s
(Key Recovery Indicators)
Heart Rate Variability
Resting Heart Rate
Deep Sleep
Temperature

9. Heart Rate Variability
HRV
Variation in your heart’s
beating rate.

10. Heart Rate Variability
Strong

11. Heart Rate Variability
Weak

12. But even more important than daily
HRV values is the long-term trend…
Heart Rate Variability

13. HRV Trend
Negative long-term
trend. Attention!

14. HRV Details
A healthy heart beat contains healthy irregularities. Even if your heart rate is,
say, 60 beats per minute, that doesn’t mean that your heart beats once every
second – or at one-second intervals like a clock.
Rather, there is variation among the intervals between your heartbeats. The
interval between your successive heartbeats can be, for example, 0.85 seconds
between some two succeeding beats and 1.35 seconds between some other two.
• If the intervals between your heartbeats are rather constant, your HRV is low.
• If their length variates, your HRV is high.

15. The Higher Your HRV
The Better.
Rule of Thumb

16. Resting Heart Rate
RHR
Number of times your heart beats per
minute when you're at rest.

17. Look for 2 aspects…
Resting Heart Rate

18. 1. The Average
Good Bad
1

19. 2. The Minimum
Good Bad
2a

20. And The Minimum Timing
Good Bad
2b

21. Your RHR should reach its
minimum in the first half
of the night.
Rule of Thumb

22. RHR Best Practice
RHR minimum quickly
after drifting away.

23. Deep Sleep
DS
The most rejuvenating and
restorative sleep stage.

24. Deep Sleep
Good Bad

25. Get 90 minutes of Deep
Sleep to fully recover
at night.
Rule of Thumb

26. Body Temperature
Powerful early indicator of
our health & recovery

27. An elevated body temperature of
+0.4 °C is an important sign that
something in our body needs attention.
Rule of Thumb

28. How can we
measure this?

29. With an ECG…
PRO:
Medical standard accuracy
CON:
No data trends (you wear it
only for 24 hours at once)

30. PRO:
Measure long-term trends
(you wear it 24/7)
CON:
No medical standard (but still
sufficient accuracy)
Or an Oura Ring

leader who
will find this
valuable..
