The Corporate Corner
Mats solo: Targets and the bell curve - do we need them?
In today's episode Mats is going on an exploration of targets, target settings and the bell curve.
Have you got your targets? Have you made the targets for your staff?
The corporate target settings for individuals is a cumbersome, administrative process in many places and often something that just have to be done.
Very few are getting their real motivation and drive from these targets written on a paper and people are often cautious when setting their own "stretch" targets.
More personal involvment in target settings seems to be the trend, but it is really the optimal solution?
Mats went on an exploration on what are some recommendations out there.
The Bell Curve, the magic curve that distributes people over a nice shaped curve putting a few as top performers, the majority in the middle and some as bad performers is often used to assess people.
How good and effective is this in a time when team work is the holy grail and companies hire and have top notch staff all deserving to be on the performing side of the curve?
