They will game the system to achieve a slide showing cost savings. To break the cycle of rewarding average performance and losing peak performers, overhaul the evaluation and reward system. Tie compensation and recognition directly to measurable impact—revenue generated, tasks delivered, or efficiency gains—rather than subjective rankings or forced curves that drag top talent down. Cap management headcount and redirect resources to retain high-performing individual contributors (ICs) with clear career paths that don’t require jumping to management for growth. Phase out low-quality outsourcing by investing in internal talent development, and stop diluting the company’s reputation with hollow awards—reserve recognition for real breakthroughs. This forces accountability, keeps the best people, and aligns the company with long-term success over short-term optics.
