Dear Org Learners,
I have read every word each of you has written on this wild and wondrous
thread. I have reflected and ruminated and discussed and debated. This
is where I am today:
1. I believe that in order to maintain integrity in ourselves and our
organizations, the tools we use must support our underlying beliefs and
values. I see this as an application of Systems Thinking.
2. I have become a strong believer in the value of cooperation in the
workplace.
3. I tend to see competition as antithetical to cooperation.
4. I believe that employee ranking is a useful tool in organizations that
encourage competition among employees.
5. Many others believe that competition among employees is useful in some
situations or even preferable to cooperation as a model for success in the
workplace.
6. Therefore, I have come to believe that employee ranking can be a useful
tool in some organizations.
Please let me know if and where you see the flaws in my thinking.
Best regards,
Roxanne
