Attending to what is measured LO21460

Does anyone know the source of the quote that goes something like:

"People pay attention to what is measured." or,
"We tend to notice what we measure."

Or, do you have a citation that fits with the spirit? (I'm asking the
same thing on the Complexity list.)

I would sure like to be accurate . . . I'm writing a paper on staff
development dealing with climate and achievement in schools.

Thanks to any help.
