What is truth?

Is there one, objective truth?

For example, can an appropriately designed Performance Appraisal system
accurately determine the value of an employee? Should the bottom 10% of
employees as measured by that Performance Appraisal system be fired?
Should a Learning Organisation ever indulge in mass dismissals?

Are the statements "Incompetence = immoral" and "Competition = moral" THE
truth?

If an organisation makes a profit, and therefore continues to exist, does
its survival automatically mean that it has fulfilled its purpose? Or
should the morality of a Learning Organisation require more than that?
