Aren't psychological safety and forced ranking fundamentally at odds? Who will be generous when only the fittest survive?
These results seem like a condemnation of any management practice based on competitive exclusion.
- mathattack 11y agoThis is a strange cultural thing. On the surface I agree with you. And I'm not a huge fan of forced ratings. But I will say that at some of the places I've worked, there was such a strong culture of sharing that this transcended the forced ranking system. If anything, I've seen the lack of sharing a bigger issue in places with a culture of competing metrics. "You get paid on revenue, and I get paid on time to completion." I've seen terrible sharing behaviors absent the forced ranking.
