If (Performance + Innovation - 3*Emotional Expense) = 0, then HP = 50%

(Room for improvement & new ideas) (3X multiplier since bad behavior is infectious)

(0 means not adding value to the company but also not detracting)

Scores would reset once a year after annual review

Ways to build HP● Leadership initiatives
