Organizational Clarity: The introverted personality at work

The crazy thing about the workplace is the various personalities involved and how to navigate them. Most of the time, there is a lot of back and forth, but sometimes it is just a one-way street. Now as funny as this sounds this could be for a litany of reasons, you can have Your introverted personality which is still cool, only harder to motivate or find out what motivates this person.

On the other hand, you may be dealing with an individual that is burnt out or maybe fallen out with the organization and any members that represent it. This person seems like the one that is so negative, you cannot reach or maybe is a waste of organizational resources. To me, out of the two, the latter is the easiest one to reach. Finding out that soft spot or place where the "honeymoon" ended with the organization can be easy as pie.

Whether there is a drop off in production after a certain event, ie: Performance appraisal, or being passed over for a promotion, all that data can is easily found in daily production reports or peer interviews. Hence, when it comes time to engage as an OD professional or as a Manager with employees of an organization there are timelines, measurable data and third-party confirmation to assist in this endeavor, in overcoming the walls of the "burnt out" employee.
