Why you should read Forced Ranking
Forced ranking is a loaded topic. Any system that suggests that a company should fire the bottom 10% of its workforce will raise eyebrows. But author Dick Grote, a performance management expert, makes a thorough case for the harsh rigors of forced ranking. By tapping his personal experiences and utilizing input from industry leaders, Grote assembles a thoughtful and convincing presentation. At the same time, he addresses problems and obstacles inherent in forced ranking. getAbstract recommends this book as must reading for the leaders of any company that is considering a forced ranking system. It will also prove valuable to human resource professionals and those who just want to know what all the hubbub is about. Indeed, you might say this book scores in the top 10%, so the author can breathe a sigh of relief - for now.
