Description

Many managers get frustrated with subordinates who are obviously bright and intelligent, yet can't seem to use their ability in positive and useful ways. People like this are usually character-ized as "difficult" or "under-achievers." What's so maddening is that they have masses of talent, but seem bent on not using it in ways that the organization-or the boss-deems acceptable and useful. When the potential does appear, it's often of a kind that's almost willfully perverse.What's going on? Is there a way of getting these people into situations where their talents can become useful, rather than disruptive? There is, but so often both sides have to agree on vital changes in attitude.Let's start by trying to look at things from the point of view of a hypothetical bright individual who doesn't fit in.
