Leistungsgesellschaft

Wenn es um Literatur geht, die sich mit „Management“ und Neudeutsch „Leadership“ beschäftigt, dürfte wohl der englische Sprachraum sowohl qualitativ als auch quantitativ führend sein.

Unten stehend finden Sie einmal ein ganz nettes und nicht allzu ernst gemeintes Beispiel.

Achievement-orientated society

From a strictly mathematical point of view it goes like this:

If:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26

Then:
H – A – R – D – W – O – R – K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98 %

and
K – N – O – W – L – E – D – G – E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96 %.

But,
A – T – T- I – T – U – D – E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100 %

and
B – U – L – L – S – H – I – T
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103 %

and, look how far ass kissing will take you
A – S – S – K – I – S – S – I – N – G
1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 127 %.

So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that:

While “Hard work” and “Knowledge” will get you close, and “Attitude” will get you there, it’s the “Bullshit” and “Ass kissing” that will put you over the top.

„Then gradually I began to intellectually reject some of the delusionally influenced lines of thinking which had been characteristic of my orientation. This began, most recognizably, with the rejection of politically-oriented thinking as essentially a hopeless waste of intellectual effort.“

John Forbes Nash, Jr., Autobiographical essay (1994)
