@r1 THIS!!!
Tribe membership = OI and forget about the rest
They're both really about how visible your work is. Now you know why all the teams and managers want to be really aggressive about pushing something out of the door, and why there are products that go out then die. https://killedbygoogle.com/
Significant Impact, the employee made strong contributions that clearly advanced the team's or organization's goals.
- Consistently delivered high-quality work.
- Met or exceeded expectations in core responsibilities.
- Drove meaningful progress on projects that matter to the team or company.
- Helped others succeed through collaboration, mentorship, or technical support.
Outstanding Impact, the employee made exceptional contributions that had a transformative or outsized effect on the team, organization, or even the company.
- Work significantly exceeded expectations and had broad impact.
- Demonstrated innovation, leadership, and initiative beyond their role.
- Delivered results that changed the trajectory of a project or product.
- Often recognized across teams or by leadership.
SI is, for the most part, objective (there is some wiggle room here to get knocked down to ME, but not much -- SI is pretty much the "default")
O is entirely objective.
You can't. It's deliberately unquantifiable thus prone to subjectivisation.
You should understand performance does not matter, who you know matters.
Significant impact - you licked your manager's ba--s
Outstand impact - you licked your manager's and director's ba--s
Results are not important.
