This is the real moral of this story.

How much of a person's effectiveness in a workforce is due to environmental factors, and how much is individual?

Now, for every factor you believe is individual, is there proof, or is it an assumption?

Now even further, for every factor you still believe is individual, can you imagine a system which would solve the problem in a generic way?

Given that, would an organization that assumed systemic solutions be more successful than one that assumes individual solutions?

The answer is yes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W._Edwards_Deming
