Re: How to combat ordinal ranking of employees

Dear Tony:
(depending upon how secure your relation to his may be!) You might 
suggest that every person be given four numbers. the first describes 
the potential his position has to make a contribution if no one else 
were present.  Another which measures the chaos that would be created 
from this position (by anyone) if the work were not done on time and 
properly.  The third and fourth numbers would indicate how close to 
100% the person is on the two other measures.  Tell him you can 
figure out some of these four numbers, with his help, but you have 

difficulty figuring out how to combine them.

Good judgement comes from bad experience.  For example: Never squat 
when you are wearing spurs.
