Wednesday@Work Poem – Performance Scales

June 3, 2009 by David Zinger Leave a Comment

BELOW THE SURFACE

We swim in an ocean of performance.

We do this, we do that.

The work gets done.

…

We swim in schools

Biting on skills

Hooked on corporate competencies.

…

You cast your net.

Into this oceanic performance.

Catching our movement to assign a score.

…

Will we be a trophy?

Brought on board

Or thrown back for being marginal?

…

Scaling our initiative from 1 to 5.

A year’s performance cut open

You thin slice and fillet our teamwork to 4.3 out of 5.

…

Toss your scales aside.

Experience our scales in action.

Grab your mask

Put on your tank

Jump overboard and swim with us.

…
