|
| -1 |
Terrible judgment -- trying to accomplish all the wrong things. |
| 1 |
Excellent judgment -- trying to accomplish all the right things. |
| I = importance |
0 to 1 |
| 0 |
It doesn't matter whether they're successful or not in their projects because what they attempt to accomplish has no importance or effect
on anything. |
| 1 |
The issues they tackle are super important/critical and so you care a lot on how successful they are. |
| E = effectiveness |
0 to 1 |
| 0 |
Regardless of what they are involved in, they have no effect on the result |
| 1 |
Very effective leader -- what they want happens. |
| MCI = J*I*E |
-1 to 1 |
| -1 |
Run! Remove this person from your project as soon as possible.
They will be very effective at accomplishing just the wrong things in critical areas. |
| 0 |
Doesn't matter whether they're on a project or not. Could be because they focus on things that aren't important, or because they don't have much effect on anything,
or their judgement averages out to a wash; regardless, in the end they're a no-op. |
| 1 |
The dream contributor -- super effective at accomplishing just the right things in critical areas. |
This measurement crystallized from watching two interesting people:
-
The first is a very smart, thoughtful fellow with a lot of insight into key areas
in the projects he's worked on. He is also very frustrating. His approach for effecting change is to talk to the overall manager in charge and explain what should be done.
What he does not do is get involved with the people actually doing the work to try to lead and win them over to his way of thinking. As a result,
although he is often quite right, he usually has little effect on the course of things.
For this fellow:
Judgement = close to 1
Importance = close to 1
Effectiveness = close to 0
MCI = 1 * 1 * 0 = 0
-
The second fellow is also a very bright guy. He has a lot of personality and charisma, and was the heart and leader of his team (although not the titular manager).
Unfortunately he led them off a cliff.
For this fellow:
Judgement = close to -1
Importance = close to 1
Effectiveness = close to 1
MCI = -1 * 1 * 1 = -1
