So much truth to this.
A harsh reality every company needs to face:
➟ Top performers lose motivation when they see poor performance rewarded.
➟ Productivity and innovation decline as unqualified people are promoted.
➟ Morale suffers when favoritism and politics outweigh performance.
➟ Your best employees leave to find a company that truly values merit.
The costs of promoting the wrong people are too high.
Companies need to commit to fair, transparent advancement based on performance and potential.
Promoting the wrong people costs more than just money.
It costs you your best people, your productivity, your culture.
Promote wisely.
