There is a lot of talk/analysis etc at the moment on whether shaming
people for bad performance can improve performance. It seems to, but
could the improved performance of poor performers be at least in part
explained by regression to the mean? We probably need to have some kind
of controlled experiment, one arm that uses encouragement of bad
performers, and another arm that uses shaming. We could then see which
(if any) has differential effect. It would be an important thing to do,
across all kinds of sectors and scenarios, I think.
