Description
Compensation and bonuses should reward outcomes aligned with company strategy, not just individual talent or performance in isolation.
Typical Approach
Bonuses are for deliverables and accomplishments that help the company scale or deliver faster - aligned with strategic goals. Not for being talented or doing good work in general. Compensation philosophy reinforces behaviors the company needs.
