Have you ever had a star employee whose performance suddenly dropped and you didnât understand why?
Everyone experiences the S curve of job satisfaction. The 3 points in the âSâ are always a launch point, sweet spot, and mastery. When employees reach mastery, they get bored and less motivated because theyâre not getting the same amount of dopamine from performing the job as before.
A former award-winning Wall Street stock analyst, Whitney Johnson applies her understanding of momentum and growth in stocks to people. In her words, âyou have to be willing to disrupt yourselfâ.
Whitney Johnson is the CEO of Disruption Advisors, a leadership development company, helping you grow your people to grow your business. A Wall Street Journal, USA Today and Amazon bestselling author, she was named by Thinkers50 as one of the ten leading business thinkers in the world. She is a keynote speaker and a popular lecturer for Harvard Business Publishingâs Corporate Learning. In 2017, she was selected from more than 17,000 candidates for the initial cohort of Marshall Goldsmithâs 100 Coaches, and was named the #1 Talent Coach.
In episode #180, Whitney explains how learning is the oxygen of human growth, how to deal with bored employees, the value of getting a coach, and why we need to disrupt ourselves.
Tune in to hear all about Whitneyâs leadership journey and the lessons learned along the way!
