A number of years ago, I was
heavily influenced by a set of 5 factors that were developed
through Deming's work over time.
1) Innate Ability
2) Individual Effort
3) Education, Training, and Skill
Building
4) Manager's Judgment of
Performance
5) The Bias in Managerial Judgment
Until about 2007, many others and I
believed that the person ONLY was in control of ONE of those
factors of performance: Individual Effort.
In the past 5 years, I've realized
that not even Individual Effort, as much as we are conditioned
to believe is in fact, in the control of the person.
Therefore, NONE of the 5 factors of
performance is in control of the person.
As much as the story would like to
be told, that OF COURSE we are in control of individual
effort, and of course innate ability is muted with the
nurturing environment and all managers know how to judge
performance, they are without bias, and that all education and
training creates learning directed by the person...it's all
BULLSHIT!
UGH, there "he" is again, the
REDASS, "sorry for that!"
Every one of the 5 factors of
performance (Deming's cry for the stoppage of performance
appraisal) is not in control of the person being judged.
WOW! If that doesn't wake you
up, nothing will, eh? <G>
