Managing Performance & Motivation

Managing people successfully is the key to high performing organisations and an understanding of modern motivational techniques is at the heart of the individual performance. Effective management of performance is built around moving from extrinsic ‘carrot & stick’ motivation to 21^st century intrinsic methods of understanding people so that motivation is shaped for individuals. 

Recent studies show that performance is enhanced by managers who understand how to challenge employees constructively based on their current levels of skills to achieve ‘flow’.  Too much challenge will lead to stress and too little to boredom – both resulting in the underperformance of individuals and discontentment in the team.
