In this article, 20 members of Forbes Technology Council talk about the tech leadership advice they’ve become a bit skeptical about and share what they’ve learned from their own experiences instead.
Evaluate and Reward Team Members Based On Individual Performance
“Leaders are often taught that employees should be reviewed and rewarded based on their individual performances. I think this misses the mark in two ways.

If you have the right core values, you’ll keep the right people on the bus, driving success.” – Dave Todaro
