Quote by Ray Dalio

Summary

This quote envisions a scenario where individuals' performance is quantified and made transparent, similar to baseball cards that display statistics like batting averages and home runs. By having this information readily available, it becomes easier to assess people's strengths and weaknesses. It suggests that with such data, one could strategically assign individuals to appropriate roles, matching their skills to the specific requirements of each position. This transparency would facilitate effective decision-making and optimize performance within a team or organization.
