This is Kevin Schofield, the one quoted in the article. The author show a very poor understanding of how stack ranking is intended to work, and has clearly not done his homework. He also quoted me out of context -- I was making the point that I found stack ranking to be a useful exercise for many purposes. The threads on mini-Microsoft make the point over and over again that there are groups that were applying it the wrong way: they used it as a shortcut to decided performance review scores, when it was never intended for that purpose. Stack ranking is a very useful diagnostic tool AFTER performance reviews are complete to point out when there are anomalies.
The tactics you cite are true in pretty much any organization; it's important to get noticed for good work that you're doing and to have a good relationship with colleagues and superiors. That is completely indepedent of whether an organization chooses to use stack rankings, and is certainly of equal importance in an organization that relies upon 360 reviews.
