Performance enhancing

Who'd have thought it ?  At least a handful of managers at the BBC are "inconsistent" in their performance. But it's so few that Auntie won't say exactly how many, in case it helps us work out who they are.

The figures released about management appraisals also only show the ratings held by HR centrally; there's no obligation on individual departments to lodge their figures centrally - so Lord Hall can just about count the numbers of senior managers, but has no overall record of whether they're any good or not.
