It provides an individual some degree of control of their compensation, regardless of how good or bad the organization does as a whole, thereby providing discrete incentives for better performance, both individually and collaboratively.<br /><br />Feedback loops are good. The more tuned (personal) the feedback, the better the output. Without such feedback, output becomes much less predictable.<br /><br />As to the proposal to create a task force to study the tax credit - just typing that makes me think too many levels, task forces all too often strike me as politicians being too chicken to deal directly with the issues for which we elected them. Similar 'commissions' have been used by other legislative bodies to adjust compensation for those bodies upward repeatedly and appreciably while maintaining minimum wage constant.<br /><br />Revisiting this tax cut, a cut many saw as providing some affordable housing relief for in-place residents on fixed incomes against the effect of recent years' housing appreciation and corresponding taxes, may be prudent, but don't be surprised if it turns out to be a third-rail issue. The reward for living in a community and participating in its flourishment shouldn't be to get taxed out of one's home upon reaching a fixed income.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
