Peter Drucker once said, “What gets measured, gets managed”.
When a top management guru says something like the above the world definitely stands up and takes notice. Everyone realizes the fundamental truth and pull up their socks to make sure that they measure things they want to manage. Do exactly that, see the results and exclaim.. Oh! the old man was right. They pass on the gyan (/dʒəˈnɑːnə/,Sanskrit) to their friends, organizations, juniors, superiors and even strangers. Suddenly everyone in the world knows it and believes (based on empirical evidence and highly decorated anecdotes of success of course) – one must measure things one want to be managed. If it is not measured, it cannot be managed.
