I feel there is a bit of paradox. To avoid reducing people into some broad categories this multi-label approach takes even more reductive swing (as in philosophical reductionism) to deconstruct people value even more.

Oh my.

So instead of reducing the complexities of what someone can contribute into a scalar, the idea is to turn it into a vector. OK. But why? For one thing, there’s already a periodic interaction one has with an organization that tells you how much you are valued. (Yeah, that.) For another, in any organization where a reasonable level of communication exists there is always a general knowledge of who knows what and who can potentially be most helpful with certain classes of problems.

I mean titles can be cool. I once wanted a new title because I didn’t think the one I had represented my role well. “How about ‘Duke’?” I asked.

I miss that gig sometimes.
