Overview: If great performance is the admired standard, how to get people to go for it? This is an age-old question asked by many managers, parents, coworkers, coaches, and others. In fact, even great performers aren’t able to do it all the time, but when they do, it is definitely an outstanding act. When organisation think of great performances, it usually think of people who are in sports or the entertainment industry. They often have to make great sacrifices to be great performers. It might be said they had a fire lit inside them. Think about the Olympians who go for the gold once every four years. They seem to be driven to succeed and are often willing to give up time with their families and friends to train for that revered gold medal. So, we come to a definition of great performance. The key is to communicate clearly what one want so that the other person can achieve it. Many supervisors have told that they just want people to do their jobs right every day, but when they do that, the supervisors don’t see any need to reward them for it because they are just doing their job. Read the article to know more about it.
