“I’m delighted that the first book in our Leading at a Higher Level series has been Garry Ridge, president of WD-40 Company. For a long time I’ve been concerned about how people’s performance is examined. Folks are often obligated into a normal distribution curve, or a whole lot worse, rank ordered. Not merely will this not build trust, it also will not hold managers accountable for coaching people and helping them earn. The administrator’s responsibility is targeted on sorting people out.
When I had been a college teacher, I always provided my students the final exam at the start of the course and spent all of those other semester helping them answer the questions in order that they could get an A. Life is all about getting As, not some ridiculous normal distribution curve. Garry Ridge got this, and wow! Just what a difference they have manufactured in WD-40
Company’s performance.”

“When I first observed Ken speak about giving his final exam at the start of the course and then teaching students the answers so they could get an A, it blew me away. Why don’t we do this in business? So that’s exactly what I did so at WD-40 Company when we set up our ‘Don’t Mark My Newspaper, Help Me Get an A’ performance management system. Has it made a difference? You’d better consider it. Ever since we began the system, our company’s twelve-monthly sales have more than tripled, from $100 million to more than $339 million. And we’ve achieved this feat while making the company a great location to work.”
