Why is it important that a manager's evaluation be based only on those revenues and costs that he or she can control?


It is important that a manager's evaluation be based only on those revenues and costs that he or she can control because a manager's compensation is usually tied directly to his or her performance. If an event uncontrollable by a manager occurs and negatively impacts revenues and/or costs within the manager's area of responsibility, an otherwise competent manager may appear incompetent and, therefore, not receive the compensation that he or she rightfully deserves. This type of action adversely affects employee morale and, therefore, the organization as a whole.
