Absence of Conscience | Inside The Bell Curve | Sanjay Kirimanjeshwar
A STATISTICALLY ENGINEERED EXCUSE TO ANNOUNCE THAT MAJORITY OF YOUR WORKFORCE
ARE EITHER AVERAGE OR POOR PERFORMERS.
THE BELL CURVE
Absence of Conscience | Inside The Bell Curve | Sanjay Kirimanjeshwar
THE BELL CURVE IS RARELY AN HONEST ARRANGEMENT OF PEOPLE PERFORMANCE.

INSTEAD, IT LAYS OUT HOW AN ORGANIZATION AND ITS MANAGERS HAVE STEERED THE BATTLE WITH THEIR CONSCIENCE.
FORCE-FITTING YOUR WORKFORCE INSIDE THE BELL CURVE MAY NOT BE YOUR FINEST HOUR WITH CONSCIENCE-KEEPING.

IT’S FORCE-FITTING. THEREFORE IT’S BLACK. IT’S GREY.
AS A RESULT, HOW YOU ENGAGE WITH YOUR CONSCIENCE STANDS EXPOSED.

IF YOU ARE RATING PERFORMANCES, YOUR PEOPLE ARE WATCHING YOU MUCH MORE CLOSELY THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE.
Absence of Conscience | Inside The Bell Curve | Sanjay Kirimanjeshwar
AND, THEY HAVE A GENERAL UNDERSTANDING OF FAIRNESS. JUST LIKE WHAT IS GOOD AND BAD.
SO, WATCH YOUR TRADE-OFFS ON CONSCIENCE.

RAINMAKERSYOU KNOW WHICH KEY STAKEHOLDERS NEED TO BE KEPT HAPPY SO THAT YOU LOOK GOOD IN FRONT OF YOUR BOSS.
SO, IN YOUR TEAM, YOU PLAY SAFE BY PROTECTING AND RATING THOSE PEOPLE AHEAD WHO CAN DIRECTLY SERVE YOUR CAUSE.
OTHERS ARE NEGLECTED EVEN IF THEY HAVE PERFORMED WELL IN THEIR JOBS.

SUBJECTIVITY OF METRICSTHE METRICS THAT YOU HAVE LAID OUT ARE NOT FAVORING YOUR FAVORITES. BUT THEN, THEY ARE YOUR FAVORITES.
SO, YOU SELECTIVELY CHOOSE TO OVERLOOK WHAT THE METRICS SAY AND RATE YOUR FAVORITES HIGHER.
OTHERS ARE SUBJECTED TO THE OJECTIVITY AND IMPARTIAL METRICS-BASED EVALUATION.

WINE & DINETHE MORE YOU SOCIALIZE WITH YOUR TEAM OUTSIDE YOUR WORKPLACE, MORE BLURRED ARE THE LINES BETWEEN FRIENDSHIP AND PROFESSIONALISM.
CONSEQUENTIALLY, WHAT STARTS OUT AS INNOCUOUS FUN FRIDAYS END UP AS A STABLE FAVOR EXCHANGE NETWORK.
THOSE WHO ARE NOT PART OF THE WINE & DINE CIRCUIT WANDER ELSEWHERE INSIDE THE BELL CURVE.

IDEA OF JUSTICEYOU FEEL THAT A TEAM MEMBER WAS NOT TREATED FAIRLY IN THE PREVIOUS EVALUATION CYCLE. SO, YOU MAKE AMENDS NOW.
IF YOU DID A POOR JOB OF EVALUATING A TEAM MEMBER’S PERFORMANCE, YOU HARDLY GET PULLED UP.
OTHERS FACE THE BRUNT OF YOUR IDEA OF JUSTICE WHEREAS THEY HAD NO CONTRIBUTION TO YOUR EARLIER LACK OF JUDGMENT.

ORPHANS IN TRANSITYOU ADJUST GOOD RATINGS FOR THOSE WHO REMAIN IN YOUR TEAM. WHY WASTE IT ON FOLKS WHO ARE IN TRANSITION TO OTHER TEAMS.
IRRESPECTIVE OF PERFORMANCE INDICATORS, YOU DERAIL MEMBERS WHO ARE MOVING TO DIFFERENT TEAMS.
IT SLOWS DOWN SUCH ORPHANS BY AT LEAST SIX MONTHS TO AN YEAR HAVING TO PROVE THEMSELVES AGAIN IN NEW ROLES OR TEAMS.

UPGRADES FOR OPTICSYOU ELEVATE A TEAM MEMBER TO YOUR LEVEL. FOR THE SAKE OF ORGANIZATIONAL OPTICS, YOU END UP WITH A PROMOTION OUT OF TURN.
YOU FORCE A SITUATION ON YOUR MANAGER TO PROMOTE YOU BY SIMPLY TAKING THE HIGH PATH OF GROWING YOUR TEAM MEMBER.
THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN THE REGULAR PROMOTION CYCLE ARE LEFT SHORT-CHANGED AND OUTWITTED.
IF YOU HAVE A LARGE APPETITE FOR CONVENIENCE OVER CONSCIENCE, THE TRADE-OFFS CAN BE ENDLESS.

SADLY, THE BELL CURVE ACCOMMODATES
ALL OF IT.
IT’S ALREADY AN IMPERFECT WAY OF FORCE-FITTING YOUR WORKFORCE. WHY POLLUTE IT FURTHER?

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
When I first saw the slide show version of Marty Neumeier’s Brand Gap many years ago, I was awestruck by its simplicity and the conversational style of presentation.
It taught me how to build slides.
