That context should have dictated a clear emphasis on competencies like commercial fiber, cross-cultural communication, and operational scalability. Instead, his scoring model treated all competencies with equal weight. As a result, someone with deep technical knowledge but minimal sales impact could still end up with a &#8220;top score.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To avoid this, your <\/span><b>scoring logic should be a direct reflection of strategic priorities<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
