Ribbons of shame usually refers to a Japanese management practice of giving ribbons with criticisms to those employees who fail to meet the expectations of the management.[1] According to some authors that in Japanese Management Programs, employees participating in truth exercises would declare those weaknesses which have been known to cause errors in the past.[2] It is also a part of Kanrisha Yosei's Japanese management training class.[3][4]
In popular culture
The term Ribbons of Shame was popularized by the 1986 movie Gung Ho, starring Michael Keaton.[5]
