I don't think guaranteed revenue is the problem, it's guaranteed employment. We tried tying money to success in our education system with No Child Left Behind

I don't think guaranteed revenue is the problem, it's guaranteed employment. We tried tying money to success in our education system with No Child Left Behind and it was a disaster. When you have an organization that is struggling to make effective use of their budget, the solution is to replace the ineffective leadership, not decimate their budget and expect them to do better.

Japanese business school philosophy seems to be fire the leaders first, then the followers. It's a sort of 'both' solution spread over a couple of fiscal cycles. If you ever get bought by a Japanese conglomerate and your boss gets fired, rather than being relieved you should be worried, because you're next if things don't improve. I can't fault that logic, but it does seem to make at least some westerners a little complacent, cross-purposefully.
