The man of the match award money is actually shared within the team.. But, in corporate, if all the bonus that the team gets shared evenly, then the performers will stop performing thinking that their efforts get them just like the other guys.. the poor guys remain poor as they know they make money anyways..End result.. Team goes down the drain.. Now for the question 2) how to motivate the OKOK types. for that you need a long stick, which is well covered with mirchi powder on one end and the other end should be help by the manager For the Question 1) why should we reward..

How about introducing similar score card system for every tasks and activities in corporates. We score singles, fours and sixers and the score board ticks. End of the year, there is no dispute.

One look at the scorecard tells who is the best (most of the time), so less chance of controversy. Not the same with work. How do you differentiate? It's a lot more subjective in nature and most of the times the-above-average-employee thinks s/he is way-above-average which is not same. And there is problem with fitting people into bands. What about who is not just ok-ok but better than that, but at the same time not 'the performer' also... tough choice...

And in corporate setting it is just your manager, who could be disillusioned ? Point is how you treat Type-2's. They are good many in number,their combined contribution is still significant, but they go unnoticed and unrewarded.
