The Way of the Bear

"Religion is for people who fear hell. Spirituality is for people who have been there." - David Bowie

"Hell is a nasty place full of suffering and pain. Heaven is a wonderful place of joy and contentment. In my experience, they're the same place--the only difference is your perspective." - This is the Way of the Bear

"In any system of work, given enough time, the top 10% does 50% of the work, the bottom 50% does only 10%. This is proven. Even worse, 80% of the work comes from the top 20%. This is the 80/20 principle and the nature of the Pareto curve. The same is true in converse, 80% of the errors come from the top 20% of the causes.

Given this simple relationship and a few tracked metrics, any system has it well within their ability to improve greatly. If your objective is to maximize shareholders' value, there is no excuse for inefficiency.

So the top 20% must be compensated accordingly, the top 10% objectively more, the rest can either prove themselves or be subject to termination." - From the diaries of the top performers.

"Everone must be given every opportunity and incentive to succeed, by force if necessary. Nature is no different." - This is the Way of the Bear.
