The tenure process does not ask for citation counts, it asks for impact. Of course, quite a few colleagues missed the memo and equate the two. A lot of others see publication as the sole and main goal of their existence. Very sad.
Impact is a subjective and often difficult to measure metric given the slow burn nature of research. It can take years or even decades for work to find real life use or impact on their field.

The paradox is that the consensus is a way of maintaining scientific credibility , but most impact comes from work that moves beyond a consensus
