According to Brian Brush, what should our mission focus on as a metric?

The focus on saving lives as a metric aligns with a mission centered around the core objective of many organizations, particularly those involved in emergency response, healthcare, or public safety. Saving lives encapsulates the ultimate goal of these missions—ensuring the safety and well-being of individuals in critical situations. By prioritizing saving lives, organizations can measure their effectiveness through tangible outcomes such as the number of lives saved during emergencies, the impact of preventative measures, and the overall improvement in community health. This broader perspective encompasses various strategies, including educating the public and improving response times, but ultimately, it reflects the true essence of the mission in terms of human impact.
