The Spirit of Wind Slash Wind Cannot Survive in the Market Place

The spirit of wind slash wind cannot survive in an environment of competition and contests. For win slash win to work, the systems have to support it. The training system, the planning system, the communication system all have to be based on the principle of win slash win. In another instance i worked with a manager who was frustrated over the formal performance evaluation rating he had given himself. He deserved a three, but i had to give him one which meant superior promotable status. That's why the department heads were tops and salespeople only made money when their needs overlapped with managers' goals. We developed a true wind slash wind reward system that suddenly disappeared.
