Comment on: Blog Post 'The 2% Difference': a poor leader can turn a group of A's into C's in no time flat. Thirdly, so much depends on external, and sometimes random, elements such as the markets, the individuals on a team, and the lifecycle of the organization in question, that it's not possible to win every time. Finally, some roles (esp. creative and leadership roles) are characterized by "punctuated equilibrium" whereby performances can be all over the map. One only has to look at the worlds of sports and entertainment to notice that many so called "A" players often fail and so called "C" players often rise, confounding everyone's expectations and costing (or making) a ton of money. I suggest these pro-forma (fantasy football) calculations of the cost of A, B, and C players are not likely to play out in reality and a better way to approach it would be using more of a winning vegas gambler's (or Wall Street) approach: understand that there will be winning, losing, and push bets, so that by making careful bets each time, not swinging for the fences but not dribbling around either, and not getting overly focused on the outcome of any individual bet, over time, you will outperform the house (or the S&P), or the competition. Shooting for the moon every time is a sure way to crap out, if you ask me. Sounds great in theory, but it puts you on on the curb in real life. So maybe the thing is to do your best, don't take too many flyers, and don't sweat the A's B's and C's because they are mostly out of anyone's control.…; Added by Martin H.Snyder at 10:17pm on April 10, 2010

Comment on: Blog Post 'An executive compensation model that makes sense': a trickle-down effect where other industries are affected. What I do like here is Rajan's proposal of what you might call a rolling compensation model. Instead of Execs making decisions to only improve the balance sheet on a short-term basis (thereby gaming numbers instead of making better long-term plays), it looks as if he's recommending a "rolling-performance" model. The question I think we'd run into here involves the cyclical nature of many industries. Many move in highly predictable/cyclical fashion, and the typical economic cycle is ~7 years long. If we asked the Exec to remain around (i.e. not making his "rolling comp" available until the end of the 7th year), I imagine it would be tough to fire 'em . . . but then again, this happens many times with sports teams. They fire a coach, but wind up having to front the bill for the entire contract nonetheless. Steve, this is what I think might happen if the government were to get more involved in regulating exec compensation (keep in mind this isn't true for banks since they were bailed out): More and more companies will move to buy back their shares and go back private. If you and I were used to making $50M USD a year as a publicly traded company, and Uncle Sam then said we were capped . . . we'd probably say "The hell with that!" and do whatever we had to do to convert from shareholder equity to debt! This is quite a maze and I bet it will be interesting to see how this unfolds. Although I am a capitalist at heart, I admit there are some greedy bastards out there :) I mean, if you're making $50M USD a year, and you lay off 50% of your middle-class blue collar workforce each December 1st to make your numbers and boost your bonus, I have no love for you.…; Added by Joshua Letourneau at 2:29pm on November 4, 2008
