Not Providing Supervision and Support

High achievers are highly motivated. They do not need supervision. This is a great strength, but most employees need supervision to keep motivated. They need someone to hold them accountable, encourage them when challenged and help them find the resources they need. But, many achievers fail to provide supervision and support to help the employees meet their objectives.

If you are high achiever you are highly motivated and do not need anyone to supervise you. A self-starter, you know what you want and you go for it. This is a great strength and a necessary one to be a truly high achiever. However, this can be a great weakness if you do not understand that others are not like you. It is a human tendency to judge others by assuming they think like us and are motivated like us. Do you fail to provide supervision and support for your people to meet their goals and objectives? Here is a classic example of two high achievers who had this problem and what they did about it.

The Johnson Brothers had a potentially lucrative business. They had a system for saving companies 10% to 25% on most of their purchases. They would arrange the savings for their clients for a fee based on how much money they saved them.

However, they knew that their growth and income were limited by the amount of time and energy make us they could spend in direct selling.

They decided to form a company and have associates do the selling for them. The associates were paid by commission. The brothers spent a short time explaining the business, giving them an idea who the best prospects were, and turning them loose. Their idea was that the good ones would sell and the poor ones would simply fail and drop out of the business. They thought that this system would cost them nothing. They went ahead with this simple plan and soon discovered that the majority of their time was spent in recruiting new associates. They spent as little time as possible training because the brothers saw this as an expense.

Most of the recruits failed. All the time the brothers had spent in recruiting them was wasted. They did have a few associates who were moderately successful for a while, but soon burned out and the brothers lost them too.

They managed to hire two very successful associates. These associates sold very well, but after a while one found an even more lucrative selling job (really good salesman are highly sought after), the other started a business of his own.

As a result, the brothers were making less money than they did when just the two of them were doing all the direct selling. They had to rethink their business plan.

They made two strategic decisions. The first was to carefully select, train and supervise new recruits. They provided support and encouragement on a regular basis. They also provided a multi-level commission system. The idea was that when they hired high achievers to sell for them, they did not want to lose them. These excellent salespeople could become associates, much like a junior partner. They would benefit not only from their own selling but from some of sales of the lower-level people. These high achieving salesman also contributed to the supervision and support of other sales staff.

With this system of providing support and supervision for their staff,the brothers business became lucrative. They spent much less time recruiting new sales people and enjoyed a larger income from their sales organization. The brothers had made a big and important shift. Instead of expecting everyone to be like them and not need support, they gave their staff the support they needed. They held their staff accountable, encouraged them, and helped them find the resources they needed to reach their goals.

As a result, they left their early struggles behind and created a lucrative business.

“Art knows no limit, and the artists will never achieve perfection.” – Bente Borsum

Bente Borsum is a talented actress who performed with the Norwegian National Theatre and was a director of the Norwegian National Drama School. As a mentor and teacher, she works with younger artists who need professional expertise and encouragement. I found this quote, one of many; to be particularly profound because so many talented people hold themselves back from their work, their full creative expression in search of perfection.

There is a distinction to be made between a high achiever and a perfectionist. The former strives for excellence while the later accepts nothing less that the impossible perfection in themselves and their work. High achievers are motivated by their goal. They relish in the challenge and are energized by the quest.

The perfectionists, on the other hand, beat themselves up with criticism and failure in the unattainable goal of perfection. They hold onto their imperfections and wear them as badges of their shortcomings and failures. The perfectionist is often frozen in the fear of presenting anything less than perfect to the world, including his or herself.

This is a crime against humanity. When a person holds herself back, never finishes a creation because it never reaches perfection, the rest of the world is deprived of that creative expression. We see this not only in the art world, but in the broader perspective of all creations of mankind as well.

Pressure on children to achieve is rampant, because parents seek much of their status from the performance of their kids. The pressure is delivered in the form of criticism. Children often believe that in order to be loved they must be perfect, an impossible goal to reach. In order to be accepted in their industry, their work must be perfect. The pain of rejection is the pain of being un-loved, a fate to be avoided at all costs.

Perfectionists seek the unattainable perfection in them. In their failure to achieve perfection they withhold love of self. And hold back their creative expression and take it with them to the grave.

The perfectionist view of life is shaped by the irrational belief and expectation that rightness is perfection. Anything less than perfection is flat out wrong. In order to be good, there must be perfection. Anything not perfect is bad; the perfectionist is bad.

The inhibiting factor that keeps the perfectionist from making a commitment to change habitual, unproductive behavior is the constant fear of not making the change “good enough”. In the quest to create anything, the perfectionist beats the drum of not good enough, wrong-ness, and unworthiness. As such, nothing is created, nothing is expressed other than more beating of the drum of imperfection.

The perfectionist is well served by noticing that much of what society calls great art is imperfect flawed in some way. The Statue of David’s hand is too large, for example. Many artists deliberately insert a flaw in their work as a reminder that there is always room to enhance their creative potential. Perfection does not allow for further creativity – the death knell of the creative spirit.

Many of our daily enjoyments were invented by mistakes or by accident. The ice cream cone was invented when an ice cream vendor ran out of bowls. A fellow vendor, a waffle maker, gave him a waffle to roll up to hold the dripping ice cream. Post-it notes were invented because a 3M employee made an adhesive that was too weak. The ineffective adhesive was then repurposed when it was discovered that the weak glue worked wonderfully well when you wanted a temporary stick-able solution that could easily be removed without damage.

A wake-up call to the perfectionist would inspire the modeling the motivational energy of the high achiever. A new perspective and a new goal of excellence rather than perfection will revert the downward spiral of self-loathing and the procrastination that comes with it to and renewed zest and passion to create. Inspired innovation is renewed, creative ideas are turned into reality and the mankind and the world benefits in the richness and gifts of the human spirit.
