In this episode of Rethinking Performance Reviews, I dive into the intriguing dynamics of high-performing employees who suddenly seem overwhelmed and disengaged. We explore the concept of "motivation DNA," a framework from organizational psychology that reveals how intrinsic drives affect employee performance. I discuss how precision-oriented employees thrive in structured environments but can struggle in chaotic roles, leading to cognitive overload and team friction. Together, we uncover actionable insights for leaders on how to redesign work environments to better align with employees' core motivations. Join me as we rethink how to support talent, enhance engagement, and ultimately ensure that your top performers flourish in their roles.
