"The truth is, your enemies at work (unless they are unrepentant sociopaths) don't want to destroy you. They just don't want you to get so far ahead that you destroy them."
Deming, E. W. (1982).  Out of the Crisis.
"Management by objective leads to the same evil. Management by the numbers likewise. Management by fear would be a better name, someone in Germany suggested. The effect is devastating:
'It nourishes short-term performance, annihilates long-term planning, builds fear, demolishes team-work, nourishes rivalry and politics. It leaves people bitter, crushed, bruised, battered, desolate, despondent, dejected, feeling inferior, some even depressed, unfit for work for weeks after receipt of rating, unable to comprehend why they are inferior.'
It is unfair, as it ascribes to the people in a group differences that may be caused totally by the system that they work in." (p. 102)
