- QUOTE: The answer is almost uncomfortably simple: CEOs care about stock value because that's how we measure them. If we want to change what they care about, we should change what we measure. It can't be that simple, you might argue - but psychologists and economists will tell you it is. Human beings adjust behavior based on the metrics they're held against. Anything you measure will impel a person to optimize his score on that metric. What you measure is what you'll get. Period.
