Quantifying impact in many of these roles is something that's incredibly difficult, and if you actually do it, most people will say "wow, that's an incredibly arbitrary and abstract way of quantifying impact that feels suspect." The only thing you can reliably point to is "During my tenure, the company saw X metric go up or down in this area." But anyone in management who claims "I made metric X go up/down" is probably selling snake oil. Are you sure that it was you? Maybe it was a parallel change made by someone else. Maybe it was someone you hired, while you did literally nothing else but hire them. Even if you are sure, how in the world is anyone else supposed to verify that? If someone can point to actually reliable ways to quantify impact of leaders/managers, please I would love to be shown to be misinformed.
