You've known it all along: IT employees really are different. Here's how to lead them.


Confused about how to motivate your team? One model illustrates this concept by combining an individual's competence and motivation to perform his or her work. The intersection of these two dimensions results in four possible phases or "profiles" of personal development.

Struggling (Low Competence, Low Motivation)
Learning (Low Competence, High Motivation)
Holding (High Competence, Low Motivation)
Performing (High Competence, High Motivation)
Each leads to a different intervention, treating each team member as the unique contributor that they are.
