There are segregation between the performers & unproductive performers , I am not talking about not non- performers. It is a unique kind of category, which is willing to perform even they perform hard but nobody recognize them as performer neither they got high pay raise in their appraisals on the other hand organizations don’t kick them off ,but by the passage of time they become non performers . My research shown mostly have a following five blazing reasons for their unproductiveness;
1) I Don’t Have Good Ideas
Usually people say that “ I don’t have any Good/ creative idea to work on” . in return I ask them do u have any BAD idea … Idea is idea there is no any bad or good idea but it relates with situation and execution of idea where it will be reckoned as good or bad. One should gather all bad ideas or casual ideas because creative or genius people does not have creative or good ideas with them all the time. Even good performers in the organization only deliver few hours as a good performers or take few good decisions in whole day , otherwise they act as other average performers, these few moments or decisions make them different as High performer to average performers or as Extra Ordinary to Ordinary. It is like that Leonardo de Vinci would have been created a hundreds of painting But people mostly admired him for his work on paintings of Helicopter , Mona Lisa & Vitruva . Stephen Covey has written lot of books but he is famous for “Seven habits of highly effective people”. Idea generation is the main key to move ahead, if you are not thinking or not generating ideas, due to fear, it’s not taking you anywhere for positive, be it creative or good.
2) I Don’t Know What To Do?
No one knows that what to do initially before start thinking or having a plan , we don’t know what to do because we don’t think to do something but the moment when we certain or decide to do something then we do it . So make sure you START THINKING about doing something. Get familiar with your thoughts & keep exploring on your thoughts then you must have a way to do something in fact something GREAT .
3) I Didn't Get Degree From XYZ ( Top Rated )College / University .
Degree from XYZ ( Top rated ) college/ university might paid for you once or maximum twice but not more than that like MBA degree from #1 college can make the difference to get one on job once or Twice but after that he has to grasp every opportunity at his own. Like vice degree from mediocre college or university might restricted you once or maximum twice but soon after when you will be on job then both people will have a same ground to LEARN, DEVELOP and exhibit their EXPERTISE. Now performance & knowledge make the difference not degree from top rated institute. Strive hard for knowledge & learning to be a true successful professional rather regretting on your college / university name .
4 ) My Boss Won’t Let Me Do
My boss always ignore my ideas …. He gives my ideas value but never make it happen ……Why your boss become responsible for your risks , when you will not be assuring your boss that 100% chances are there to get succeed. Don’t put your garbage on your Boss shoulders . why you don’t take INITIATIVE and hold COURAGE at your own , SELF Believe. Until & unless you will not have a self Or track record of success behind you how one can trust on you , so you have to prove yourself at your own & make things happen rather always looking for approval from your boss.
5) I Can’t Do It Because I Don’t Belong To....... RACE, Religion , Gender, DNA etc.
Never under estimate yourself on the ground of race , religion , gender , DNA etc. People does not get supremacy on these grounds rather through professional knowledge & will and their on ground performances . God created every human being equivalent and given a bombastic gift of brain now it’s up to us how we can use it where as other all factors will remain same. This is not deem necessary that a sports men son will be born with the same talent as his father had or only black people can ran fast than anybody else etc.
This is not limited to above mentioned points only, there must be for sure many more other untouched issues & points as well which differentiate the performer from unproductive performers .
