Lector 03 :Theory of Potential and Performance in an Organization

As discussed in the class we all know that Potential > Performance . Now our main concern is to  achieve performance which is exactly equal to the potential of a person. 

How to do that??

First of all let us equate potential with performance. 

Performance = Potential - Inhibitor forces  

Or we can say P = p -i ( where P = performance , potential = p and inhibitor forces = i )

As mangers our main target is to zero down this inhibiting forces . To achieve that managers motivate employees with compliments followed by constructive criticism . Also employees could get bored by doing same kind of work over a long period of time. When employees are asked to perform the same task every day, they may start to resent the repetition and begin to lose interest. If we know that an under performing employee has the ability to become productive, then we have to give him  new projects to spur his interest.

In this way we can reduce the value of  Inhibiting forces and can increase the performance of an employee.
