Meritocracy: Responding to the Myth
By Michael Hyter, President & CEO, Novations Group, Inc.
Many senior-level executives believe that their organizations are "true" meritocracies where the "gifted" rise to the top as a result of a fair process.

This contradiction in perceptions raises two questions. "Do most companies truly have a meritocracy?" and "Is it in the best interests of an organization to strive for a system of meritocracy?" I believe the answer is "no."
