A common complaint made by those who perform well in organisations is that they’re left to “get on with it”.  It is the poor performers, those who obviously need support, who get the lion’s share of the manager’s attention.  The result can be that high performers begin to drift or to feel dissatisfied and the manager fails to notice vital signs.  

Managing high performers brings its own set of challenges.  They can be very demanding, with high expectations of themselves and those around them.  They may be well rewarded financially by the organisation but miss out on other rewards that are important to them (e.g. regularly praise and feedback from their manager).

We run a half day skills development workshop for managers on Motivating High Performers.  It provides opportunity for them to make explicit the particular challenges presented by high performers as well as identifying strategies that they can apply to their own team members.

“The visual and interactive element of the entire programme was excellent.  It totally engaged managers, providing an enjoyable experience and valuable insight on how to motivate high performers.  The workshop frames our values and behaviours in a practical context.”
