Albert Einstein's Performance Review
Feb 21
What if Albert Einstein worked for you? How would you write his annual performance review? Albert Einstein’s performance review shows that he wasn’t promotable, didn’t work well with others, and rarely shared credit with others. How do you handle the brilliant, yet different?
I think this will make it into How to Get Rid of Performance Reviews Once and For All.

Hey, Frank, you’re asking excellent questions! Einstein’s teacher called him a bonehead!
Robyn, that is funny…it’s a wonder in this era that what often gets talked about is “diversity of thought” but what gets rewarded is compliance and capitulation. “Bonehead” is one of my favorite words, btw.
Frank, I find that we have much the same thinking on compliance and capitulation. Though it may keep the wheels running to a certain extent, it really holds down invention, creativity and progress.
Robyn, I saw a quote from Scott Adams of Dilbert fame, that I think sums it up: It’s important to agree with people if you want them to think you are a genius. For most people, the definition of smart is‚ “Thinks exactly like me but even more so.”
I really enjoy your work. It’s nice to be among the like-minded.
Frank, I love Dilbert because he brings out foibles. And, I’m not immune!
