Interesting thoughts by all, here are a few of mine to add to the stew:
Not meaning to sound negative, but I would suppose that your supervisors are rated in some form or other by the performance of their associates. That being the case, the temptation (motivation?) for inflating scores would be great. Such situations (i.e. using QM as incentive rather than as a coaching tool) are only exacerbated when you ask those responsible for the performance gains to do the evaluations.
As the old axiom goes (twisted a bit) - "If you measure it you will get the results - valid or not."
By the way, I know this doesn't address the political side of your question. If you agree with any of the above you might want to defer to some of Dr. W. E. Deming's thoughts on the topic ("Out of the Crisis" is a must read) to sway sr. mgt.
Best Regards,
Rick
