Inner Scorecard
Topic
The inner scorecard is a philosophical and decision-making concept popularized by investor Warren Buffett that emphasizes measuring one's success and actions by internal standards rather than external validation or public opinion. It contrasts with an outer scorecard, which relies on the approval, praise, and benchmarks set by others. Operating by an inner scorecard allows individuals to maintain integrity, make independent decisions, and remain focused on long-term values.
