Quote:”an incentives-based model would offer the ability to target incentives to specific individuals the Service wants to retain. We should use money like a focused weapon, and aim it at the exact individual we need. Currently, we target people via a mass fires approach, instead of more selective targeting. While we hope this results in the retention of the most talented, our antiquated models may also retain poor performers,” he wrote.” End Quote.
The fact that this is written in bureaucratic jargon is a bad sign in itself. All that’s missing is mention of paradigms. How about some plain speaking instead of overblown prose?
That quote communicates clearly to me. I don’t subscribe to the current university mantra that dictates all prose must be at a 3rd grade level.
I’m no expert in this field but I agree in principle with this quote and the rest of the paper.
