Are you an A-Player?

Out of 10 people that can do a job, 1 is an A-player, 3 are B-players and the rest are C-players, or so the story goes… Simple enough, right? So, I ran a couple of public polls on Linkedin. Just for fun. They probably have no statistical relevance, but the results are interesting :).

First, I asked respondents to self select in the A, B or C player category. 78% put themselves in the A-Player list…

Then I asked respondents to assess their coworkers. 42% said less than 1 in 100 coworkers are A-players, 77% said less than 1 in 10 are. Obviously B- and C-players don’t like to answer polls ;)
