Rank Individualism
Ranking individuals and paying them according to their ranking also needs questioning. The theory is that this will motivate people to want to be at the top. It is also a value statement that high performance comes from outstanding individual performance.

This faith in individualism is so deeply ingrained in the business perspective of American culture that it seems no amount of experience to the contrary can challenge it.
