There is a recurring theme of incentives becoming out of alignment with purpose. This happens in business, medicine, government... It's become a real focus for me, and CEOs should consider this very carefully. What are the company's goals, really, and are the incentives offered, all the way from the janitors up to their own compensation, in alignment with those goals? The professor stated blatantly: The students are paying too much for us to fail them. Said another way: The students bought their grades. Does anyone have knowledge of incentive structures at universities that they'd defend as being in strong alignment with the goal of turning out the best educated students? What was that incentive structure?
