Ep. 13: Compensation - The ONLY Known Way to World-Class! (Pt. 1 of 4)
"We live in a world of Incentives and Disincentives."
And if we are intelligent, we can solve most of our organizations problems and frustrations by aligning our compensation systems with the results we want to achieve. In MVI's measurements, NO ORGANIZATION HAS EVER ACHIEVED AND MAINTAINED WORLD-CLASS QUALITY AND ECONOMICS WITHOUT ADDRESSING THEIR COMPENSATION SYSTEMS.
In this powerful opening to a 4-part series, Andrew Reed explores the most misunderstood aspects in creating a World-Class organization: Compensation. Drawing on over three decades of strategic consulting and firsthand experience with high-performing, award-winning companies, Andrew dissects how Compensation shapes human behavior, and ultimately builds or breaks the quality of an organization.
