- WJW 4y agoI did read the article and I just re-read the part you mentioned. That section just mentions that if you manage to get buy-in from the team about some predetermined policy, then they will be bought-in to the results as well. This would be dependent on getting the entire team to accept such a policy without drama, which seems unlikely. There is often too much ego and too much future financial gain involved in promotion decisions to have a low-drama way of telling people that they did not get the promotion and that the position they wanted will likely not be open for the coming few years. I expect that any such policy would also lead to the worst kind of "Goodhart's law" exploitation, where people start optimizing only for the metrics actually mentioned in the policy to the detriment of all else.
