Does it make sense to you to focus special attention on one workforce group to improve performance of the entire workforce? It doesn’t to me. It might even be demotivating to those who do not get the special attention. They might even feel discriminated against. Yet according to a new study by the America Management Association and the Institute for Corporate Productivity, most companies surveyed use coaching to help out high-potential employees and executives.
But what about those employees who need extra help to achieve expected or improved performance? Fewer companies surveyed used coaching for this. That just doesn’t make sense in the big picture. There should be a more balanced approach. Otherwise, workforce performance improvement overall does not change appropriately, instead becoming skewed toward groups that get special attention. This could even lead to conflict. You certainly want to balance the use of coaching in your project.

I see where one young boy has just passed 500 hours sitting in a treetop. There is a good deal of discussion as to what to do with a civilization that produces prodigies like that. Wouldn't it be a good idea to take his ladder away from him and leave him up there?
