Dennis quotes Goldratt:
>One of my favorite dictums from Dr. Eliyahu M. Goldratt: "Tell me how
>you'll measure me, and I'll tell you how I'll behave."
Is Goldratt speaking for himself or is he expressing his view of the human
race? Isn't this the behaviorist's view taken one step further. We don't
even have to reward people to control their behavior, all we have to do is
measure. Certainly there is a degree of truth in that measuring probably
generally does influence behavior. And for people who are more outer
directed than inner directed, the influence is surely greater. But we
aren't all puppets controlled by the strings of MBO.
