For the past year I have been looking to get banking staff working in human resources to go to me. The inspiration was this revealing interview in what it's prefer to fire people. It proved very, very hard to find people in recruiting to speak to this blog, perhaps given it falls in their mind to fire bankers for secretly talking to journalists? Anyway, at long last the banking blog can present its second understanding of the mentality in banks hours officer. The biggest overuse injury in banking is measuring performance. Professional tennis players operate on a level playing field with their opponents, utilizing the same surface and balls, the same wind speed. Their performance can be measured. But now you're CEO at the major British bank. Tomorrow the pound crashes along with your bank has got the worst year ever sold. That is far beyond your control. I am not saying CEOs or bankers are clueless gamblers inside a casino. On the contrary, you need skills to become a good banker, absolutely. What I'm saying is that finance is simply too complex, with way too many unknown unknowns and too many crucial factors beyond a person banker's control, to adequately measure their yearly performance.
