This course has introduced you to Jack Welch's 20-70-10 differentiation framework and to Huselid, Beatty, and Becker's categorization of employees as A, B, or C players.
Write a 3-5 page paper in which you do the following:
1. Discuss the strengths and pitfalls of differentiating employees in the manner suggested by Jack Welch (i.e. the 20-70-10 framework). What assumptions must one make in order to embrace differentiation?
2. Determine which framework you would use to assess your own employees, why you would use it, and how it would differentiate employees.
3. Discuss the values, cultural elements, and organizational processes that need to be in place for differentiation of employees to be equitable and productive.
