I agree with your POV on this topic, especially that high performing people want to be measured and rewarded based on the results they produce - nothing more, nothing less. I did a survey recently and people told me their primary cause of stress and frustration at work was unclear priorities and objectives, and an overall lack of direction. They weren’t certain what was expected of them, when it was due, and didn’t know what the boss thought was most important. I'm a huge fan of ROWE, but regardless of whether or not you work in a ROWE, everyone - managers and employees alike - should be clear on the results they are responsible for and understand how to measure performance.
