Why Great Managers Are So Rare
Companies fail to choose the candidate with the right talent for the job 82% of the time, Gallup finds

BY RANDALL J. BECK AND JIM HARTER

Management talent exists in every company. It's often hiding in plain sight.

Gallup has found that one of the most important decisions companies make is simply whom they name manager. Yet our analytics suggest they usually get it wrong. In fact, Gallup finds that companies fail to choose the candidate with the right talent for the job 82% of the time.

It was 1995 or thereabouts that we were forced to see some canned film presentations about "diversity". One film was really corny and it said diversity is good for you - it's like eating your peas. No shit. The next thing they did was bring an Indian woman with a red dot on her forehead in to become a manager 2 levels up from the engineers. She had come to the US in 1968 to get a PhD in water chemistry but was put in charge of chemical engineers. The management tactic was to put her in there to hammer everyone under her and then for upper management above her to tacitly be like (in other words, without ever really saying it) oh, we're sorry, but she's a diversity hire and we can't get rid of her when "red dot" as I called her was just doing exactly what upper management told her to do and she didn't give a shit because she hated everyone under her anyway. The cruelty was unimaginable. That was a technique to manage a white professional workforce in 1995 until "red dot" retired.

For the jobs that remained in the country, many of which were occupied by people with college degrees, but weren't in, let's say, the top 10 percent, there was also lots of social pain purposely created, but in a different way. Most humans are very, very susceptible to social pain and humiliation. The primary job of "red dot" who is described in the second snippet above, was to create social pain and humiliation.

I will now describe one way in which she did that in collusion with others in top management and the legal community at large. Let's say a large corporation was being inspected by a state inspector and problems were found. The corporation understood that all they had to do was get a lawyer, have the lawyer write a letter to "red dot" basically libeling the inspector, telling blatant lies about the inspector, and "red dot" would not defend her employee. When the employee complained, "red dot" would tell the employee not to take it personally and the department lawyer would then chime in, saying how terrible this all is but that companies know they can do this and get away with it, but there is not much he can do about it at this point. The letter would be put in the case file, which is public information, and there would be no response from management. Anyone from the public can look at the case file. Everyone knew this.

One reason for the above statistic from Gallup is that when thoroughly incompetent and corrupt cretins like "red dot" are forced on workers, nobody wants to work for them.

"Red dot" asked me to apply for a supervisor job under her. I declined. I can imagine others did too. She had to go outside the organization to fill the position.

Taking precautions against a deadly pandemic is a form of slavery? 1,183,396 US deaths are not worthy of taking precautions?

The lockdowns prevented not one death. In fact, lockdowns increased deaths. Thanks for the numbers.

Locking people down is just another thing Democrats do for power and control. Sort of like putting able bodied people on welfare and locking them down into Democrat controlled urban hellholes. Another form of soft slavery. Or taking able bodied kids and tricking them into doing sex change operations. And another. Control freaks is what they are.

Liar.

No one was locked down. Your lying about locks does not reflect reality. Precautions such as wearing masks were recommended. Once vaccines were made available, the disease rates went down more in blue states than red, indicating they were effective.

Red attempts to force their culture on others is a distinct lack of freedom. Freedom is the ability to make your own choice. Sure, if you are as stupid as you seem, you could choose not to take precautions against a deadly epidemic. Freedom of speech I suppose justifies lying? You can misconstrue saving lives as slavery, but were any precautions force on you or just suggested and made available?

This was an intermediate step on the way to full lockdowns and martial law under Democrats - their wet dream.

Vote Donald Trump.

Nonessential is basically anyone these commies want to target. The clips posted from Hillary show this.

An example of toying around with soft forms of human slavery would be to make excuses for locking humans down to see how they respond. It's a form of herding, which has been studied for decades in anticipation of this tipping point. It worked well for them so I would expect them to try to up the ante before their wet dream falls apart.

It won't work but delusional Democrats are still hoping that with enough gaslighting they can pull it off.

Let’s świtch to values. Republicans on the issue of abortion claim to be pro life. However on the issue of Covid, it is the Democrats who are pro life. If you understand the value of life, you should understand why lots of folks were advocating precautions. Instead, you conflate the idea of wanting to live with wanting to be a slave. This makes no sense.

Another conflict is between wanting freedom, wanting to be able to make one’s own choice, and the desire to spread on’s own culture, to force others to adapt one’s own values. On other issues this might involve Republican bigotry or medieval superstition. I’m usually in favor of freedom. With Covid it is a bit less clear. Yes, it is clear that you do not wear a mask to a Trump rally. That is the rally attender’s choice. It is macho to tempt death. It is freedom. It is a choice that affects primarily you. However, some factories were forced to put up partitions, to make it less likely for the deadly pandemic to spread. That is not an individual choice, but a mandate put out by the government. The difference is whether one is hurting only one’s self, or if many are effected. Should others be forced without precautions to share space with someone who attended a Trump rally? If you acknowledge pro life values, this becomes understandable and proper.

Another difference in values is between economics and life. Trump calculated that any president who created a solid economy would be re-elected, so he came to value economics over life. His choice, but the Democratic state governments of the west coast and northeast disagreed. This is a closer reflection of the real Covid era values than imagining that Democrats felt like locking people up for no good reason. If you can’t come out ahead in a discussion, make up lies about the other guy’s motivation?

So that is where I’m at. I’m pro life, even if I value sentient fully developed adult humans over collections of cells which are definitely not sentient. I value life over economics. I value freedom of choice if your decision affects only one self, but oppose imposing one’s values on others.

And I think you are really messed up.

You're starting to flail uncontrollably again, shooting false accusations in multiple directions hoping somebody will bite on something. Untangling all your lies would take pages and pages of wasted effort.

It's a new dark age and your post illustrates it beautifully.

I'll just do a repeat of my attempts to address one of your ill-conceived pieces of word salad:

On other issues this might involve...medieval superstition.

Medieval superstition dealt with concepts like gods, souls, sin and sacrifice.

Before going back to the Dark Age Hovel, though, I want to elaborate on my objection to your use of the phrase you have coined to describe how Christians think about abortion - "medieval superstitions", which was my real reason for starting this back and forth we have been having these past few days. I can now do so because you have sort of defined what you mean by that. When you use the word "medieval" a reasonable assumption would be that it refers to things that were primarily of the medieval world and are not of the present world. So let's look at the 4 items you listed - gods, souls, sin and sacrifice. If the plurality of Americans still believe in gods, souls, and sin, and those concepts it would stand to reason that this plurality would believe that there is a hell. Astonishingly, to me at least, they do as a majority, and they do across race, age, and every other affiliation besides religious or lack thereof. So to call beliefs in gods, souls, and sin medieval superstitions when these beliefs are very much present in this world I don't think is accurate.



There are some aspects of sacrifice such as animal sacrifice to appease or gain favor from the gods that could be considered medieval superstitions since they are no longer practiced in the present world. I discussed that in a previous post.

One interesting thing in recent posts. You have a poll showing most Americans believe in or favor a lot of traditional religious aspects.

Is this your best attempt to respond to this? Do you have anything more to say about it besides burying it in your usual attempts to create irrelevant diversions?

If you answer, yes, this was my best attempt and, no, I don't have anything more to say about it directly, then I'm ready to return (on foot) to the Dark Age Hovel.

Or I suppose a non-response is equivalent to saying you have nothing more.

You would have been one of those preaching revolution and was beheaded after realizing that your friends viewed you as an enemy.

Likely not. I fought communism working for the military and three letter agencies in a nice safe blue state. Going to a conservative controlled zone and trying to make trouble is not my style.

I don't think anyone expects you to put yourself in danger/ the line of fire; you are a rear echelon kind of guy. You will be caught by surprise when the golem turns.

If he ever comes to his senses... It's already too late. He's chosen his team and will, as eloquently stated, ride that atom bomb all the way to the ground.
And we won't be having a Communist revolution anyway probably. Collapse, external war then game changing lifestyle adjustments to a whole new world. Probably everyone will remember before the war how good it really was and how stupid all this idiotic shit blabbering fools like Bob perpetuate that will make actually rebuilding more difficult. Liberals can't accomplish any of their goals because they're constantly counterproductive. And destructive. And they simply can't understand like a cult member can't see outside viewpoints.

You are repeating yourself again. You have put up that post multiple times already, and ignored my responses to it. I suppose that is easier than a real answer, or admitting that you have none.

So you value a few cells over human beings? You value money over people?

In keeping with the spirit of the times…. Bah, humbug.

Bob,

Higgie didn't formulate new responses to your most recent falsehoods because he's done it before, eloquently and repeatedly, and you just ignore his arguments and go off on different absurd tangents (like you just did again in your last post). In other words, countering your false claims is not worth the effort, because you're not playing the same game (logic) everyone else is.

There must be a reason why you're like this. If I have time, I'll peruse the DSM-5, and see if I can find something that fits.
