The true value of a leader is not measured by the work they do. A leader's true value is measured by the work they inspire others to do.

Simon Sinek

The lasting value of our public service for God is measured by the depth of the intimacy of our private times of fellowship and oneness with Him.

Oswald Chambers

The notions that nature exists to serve us; that its value consists of the instrumental benefits we can extract; that this value can be measured in cash terms; and that what can't be measured does not matter, have proved lethal to the rest of life on Earth.

George Monbiot

Intrinsic value is not measured by how much money you make, it's measured by the size of the problem you solve.

Joe Jordan

The first step is to measure whatever can easily be measured. This is OK as far as it goes. The second step is to disregard that which can't be easily measured or to give it an arbitrary quantitative value. This is artificial and misleading. The third step is to presume that what can't be measured easily really isn't important. This is blindness. The fourth step is to say that what can't be easily measured really doesn't exist. This is suicide.

Charles Handy

Life is measured by the rapidity of change, the succession of influences that modify the being.

George Eliot

Purposeful organizations develop the next generation, not simply the next leader. My friend Marshall Goldsmith, bestselling author and leading executive coach, does not like the term succession planning. Better to say, "succession development." That means you are focusing on multiple managers and grooming them to lead.

John Baldoni

Infatuation is measured in pleasure. Love is measured in pain. Behold the value of pain!

Anthony Marais

The value of all things contracted for, is measured by the appetite of the contractors, and therefore the just value is that which they be contented to give.

Thomas Hobbes

The value of an ambitious goal is not measured by what it will bring to you. The worth of a goal is measured by what it will make of you in the process of following and attaining it.

Ralph Marston

My value as a woman is not measured by the size of my waist or the number of men who like me. My worth as a human being is measured on a higher scale: a scale of righteousness and piety. And my purpose in life-despite what fashion magazines say-is something more sublime than just looking good for men.

Yasmin Mogahed

Some parts of the population are starting to realize that character is extremely important and that it cannot be measured by the things we like to measure it by: the tabloids and so forth. Character is crucially important to a leader, to be a moral leader, and we'd better make it primary on our list or we're going to keep getting more of the same.
