But I also recognize how difficult this is to actually do within the vast majority of companies. It always amazes me how HR departments feel the best approach is to "standardize" performance management, review, incentives, etc. Really isn't that different from a lot of the problems with schools. Highly recommend Alfie Kohn's books/articles for explaining the details. I couldn’t agree more about “saying no” to individual incentives.
