How the obsession with quantifying human performance threatens business, medicine, education, governmentΓÇöand the quality of our lives Today, organizations of all kinds are ruled by the belief that the path to success is quantifying human performance, publicizing the results, and dividing up the rewards based on the numbers. But in our zeal to instill the evaluation process with scientific rigor, we''ve gone from measuring performance to fixating on measuring itselfΓÇöand this tyranny of metrics now threatens the quality of our organizations and lives. In this brief, accessible, and powerful book, Jerry Muller uncovers the damage metrics are causing and shows how we can begin to fix the problem. Filled with examples from business, medicine, education, government, and other fields, the book explains why paying for measured performance doesn''t work, why surgical scorecards may increase deaths, and much more.
