Italian term

nella prospettiva meritocratica

Italian to English Art/Literary Religion
Source text: book on Ethics and Business, from a Catholic perspective, drawing out tips and counsels for entrepreneurs, after reflection on various Gospel passages. Here, the authors are speaking about how entrepreneurs need to know how to maintain harmony in their companies, despite inevitable conflicts among employees.

La critica costruttiva, che non travalchi mai i limit dovuti, è segno di buona volontà nella prospettiva meritocratica.

"Constructive criticism, which should never go beyond due limits, is a sign of goodwill, according to a “meritocratic” point of view"?

Thanks,

Peter

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

There are lots of ways you could say this, but there's an exact English equivalent, so you might as well use it.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thank you Phil! I wasn't sure if "meritocracy" was a known concept in Anglo contexts; it's certainly discussed a lot in Italy, though. Thought perhaps it was a national thing. Thanks for setting me straight!"
