| From his LinkedIn: > Bilingual business leader and entrepreneur who has made two exits. He's a Singapore-based, business-oriented type. Nothing wrong with that, but if he's this tone deaf about what really retains and motivates high-performers, then I've got to wonder what other business and leadership aspects he's not in touch with. Here's the real test of how valuable that peer recognition is: how much does it affect the reviews and compensation adjustment process at the majority of companies that made a big deal out of the peer recognition system? What's that, a rounding error amount or none at all? And show me the sales organization that runs on peer recognition in lieu of commission adjustments in any proportion. I thought so... Ever since I learned to sell my own services, these kinds of proposals make me internally laugh and politely decline. That kind of BS detector has saved me a ton of hassle and time over the decades. The sales people I learned the craft from wouldn't be nearly as nice reacting to such a proposal, but I've learned not to burn bridges. Monteiro channeling Goodfellas to Lance Ng: FYPM. Fake Points for me and FU money for you? That's a crap deal any way you cut it, and if it smells too much for you to make it fly in sales, then it doesn't deserve the light of day anywhere else. |
