Quotes:

“I think the philosophy from some compensation [practitioners] is, ‘everyone understands pay because they get paid.’ And managers sometimes get caught in the other trap which is, ‘I get paid so how complicated can it be?’ There has to be some type of translation between those two.”

“[Managers] want to be nice, but . . . everyone can’t be a 5 because then you can’t create the dispersion to keep the talent you want. ”
