TVLL 005: Equal Pay for Monkeys


TVLL 005: Equal Pay for Monkeys



In this rather funny video, we are exposed to the idea of fairness - the idea that each monkey is doing the same work with one rejecting an inferior reward.  If monkeys can observe and act on an unfair situation, you can bet that the members of your organization can.  Leaders need to understand the difference between equality and fairness.  How do you explain equality?  How do you explain fairness?  Are there any absolutes with these terms or are they situational?  Is it fair to reward extra effort if outcomes are the same?  Where do you encounter issues of equality and fairness in your organization?
