While at GE, Jack Welch popularized the notion that it was good to fire the "bottom 10" of his managers every year. The challenge lies in productively managing talent's fat middle. In well-managed businesses, there are clear feedback mechanisms to ensure that the bottom of the talent pack gets managed out efficiently and objectively.
