It's hard to define decent, good, and bad health too. But you know it when you see it. Managers are the same with employees.

- thesmallestcat 9y agoI guess so, but that's what I mean: The article's meaning depends on one's view. To me, C = inevitable disaster, A = inevitable success, and B is everybody else. With three grades/classes, that's as far as I can get. You have to keep the "A"s happy and prepare for their exit. You have to get rid of the "C"s as soon as you've identified one and given them their fair chances. But I think that your A-B-C scale only addresses those who I consider "B"s, as "A"s and "C"s are mostly immune to management technique.
- danielrm26 9y agoC is average, as per American school grades. D and F are below average.
- thesmallestcat 9y agoYou should mention that in your article then, keeping in mind that the progression from F to A in most grading systems is linear and that some of us may not see the differences between calibers of engineers in the same way. That said I'm grasping for the grade analogy, as grades are highly dependent on the subject matter and other factors that I'd consider external, and represent a rigid point-in-time assessment.
