Sadly in too many organizations it seems it is more important to not “embarrass or call out”poor performance than it is to encourage great competence and subsequent success. This starts with the leadership. Great leaders are: caring , competent and have a strong character. An overt system is not easy on those who choose to underperform but it is an excellent motivator to those who want to improve and be recognized for doing well.

Public and social sharing of individual growth and progress is an old idea that absolutely deserves a revisit. The upside is huge—'keeping up' with peers can fuel a culture of up-skilling, opening doors for internal growth, advancement, and business success. Engaged, strong contributors and value creators for the business will likely welcome this approach, which will boost retention—your best people won’t want to leave. It’s a cultural element that has to be baked in, and yes, some companies may need a hard reset to make this work. Sure, there will be pushback from those who feel that transparency equals pressure or bullying, but that's not a reason to avoid it. Thanks for shedding light on this—so many old practices deserve a second look in today’s world.
