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
