>> In other words, what it takes to get the job is not just different from, but also the reverse of, what it takes to do the job well Did it take this long to figure out that most processes in the world don't select the people for the job? Think about the following: - SAT score based admissions (numbers matter) - Tech Job interviews (number of problems solved, mistakes made, time taken to solve matters) - Data driven Quarterly metrics and performance reviews (stupid metrics matter) - Running for Presidency (Count of votes matter) - Winning at WoW (Kills matter) I can easily see most of these processes as a game. It involves a "System" and "Scoring in that system". The ones who win the game don't necessary do post-game activities better, unless the system selects for that. I don't know...don't they teach this in MBA classes anymore?
