It's not that measurement is bad. The image emphasized in the article's opening (but never mentioned) is a good example of standard measurements enabling building compatible structures with plumbing, and replacing equipment with similar versions.

“By the time it can be captured in numbers, it’s too late.” (Peter Drucker, The Effective Executive, p17)
…
“Of course, visible figures are important but he that would run his company on visible figures alone will in time have neither company nor figures. The most important figures are unknown and unknowable but successful management must nevertheless take account of them…

Those darned Japanese, with their “Total Quality Management” process! [originally from the US] They just keep improving their processes, and reaping the benefits, without any kind of professional responsible bureaucratic gatekeeping process based on tedious time-consuming costly fictitious seemingly objective cost-benefit analysis, available only to upper management, due to the substantial resources it requires and consumes, and used mostly to bolster and reinforce their biases. It's so unfair!

Claire Lew of Canopy [originally was “Know Your Team”] daily tip for Friday, December 13th was “They already know,” pointing out that managers / leaders often make the [very human] assumption that their subordinates know everything that they know. But the nature of typical corporate hierarchy pushes information and decisions “up” to the bosses, and restricts communication “down” to the people doing the work.

"How quiet is it?"
… a "one minute" management tip from "Canopy" (formally "Know Your Team")
But my reaction is …
Often, other team members have useful suggestions and ideas, but a few people "dominate the discussion" — by literally competing for control of time to speak. (us Americans 🙄)

My reply:
I've only been doing this since 1976.
(when I was in junior high school)
I've often said that it's like science:
The more you know, the more you realize that you don't know. <
The first couple of years, I was pretty darned "cocksure."
