The smallest percentage for "needs improvement" ratings I was expected to hit was 5%, the largest was 15%. How do you do that if you're managing a team of 5?

Any manager with an employee who had two connective needs improvement ratings was themselves given a needs improvement.
Makes sense to me. A manager's #1 job should be to ensure that the people who report to them are able to work to the full extent of their capabilities; if you're not assisting employees who need improvement, you have no business being a manager.
- donavanm 4y ago> How do you do that if you're managing a team of 5? Law of large numbers at higher org levels, not individual teams. No one is hitting a specific 5% or 20% on a single team. Even at a sr manager scope with 25-50 people it's not going to be exact. But at a Director or VP, with 300-3,000, then you can see the performance target values come in to focus. Regardless theyre all targets and exceptions, with lots of explanation, do happen for good and ill.
