Multiple choice

Directions: Answer the given question based on the following passage:

Having the right talent throughout the organization is a critical source of competitive advantage. The leading organizations therefore conduct assessments of their talent; they differentiate in their high performers and low performers. They reward high performers with job opportunities that excite and challenge them. This may seem simple and easy initially; in practice it requires a fundamental shift in thinking. In the process of scalability of talent, organizations recognize that poor performers are identified since they are the ones who do not fail in their own jobs, but bring down everyone else around them.

What is the underlying idea of the passage?

  1. To show that appraising the performance of employees is not an easy exercise

  2. To dwell on the desirability of having right talent for competitive advantage

  3. To demonstrate the ill-effects of having poor performers in an organization

  4. To examine the process of scalability of talent employed by an organization

  5. To delineate on how to differentiate between high performers and low performers
