Microsoft and "Stack" or "Forced" Ranking of employees
11/17/2013
Microsoft phases out this system of forced ranking of emplyees and puts in place more frequent feedback for employees from managers. The idea is to encourage teamwork. Ballmer makes this change in 2013 as he prepares to leave Microsoft. CEO Welch introduced the stack ranking system in General Electric and it was a way to rid GE of "underperformers" or those who did not conform to the new CEO's requirements. A professor at UCLA's School of Management sees the evaluation system at companies failing in many respects if it sees the manager's job to evaluate and not to get performance up to a high level by training, motivation and team work. Ballmer sat down for four hours in December 2013 with Alan Mulally to understand how Ford made its comeback and Mulally told him it was teamwork and simplifying the way Ford did things. Welch was addressing a problem not faced by many companies having to fight competition and come up with exciting products and technologies. He was trying to change an old established industrial company quickly- the same approach which did not put highest priority on teamwork would be disastrous for companies needing to fight entrenched competition.

A company as a team concept between younger, middle, and upper management.
05/29/2009
A company as much much more than CEO run operations. A rare CEO may make this possible but for most companies even with a rare CEO, its best run as a teamwork between all levels and ages of management with the CEO listening in to all voices. This was a cardinal rule for Alfred Sloan at GM.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
