काम करणारे vs काम टाळणारे Employees
अनेक संस्थांमध्ये नेत्यांना नेहमी एक प्रश्न पडतो की काही कर्मचारी उत्कृष्ट कामगिरी का करतात तर काही कर्मचारी प्रयत्न करूनही अपेक्षित परिणाम देऊ शकत नाहीत. यामाग...
Avinash Chate - Corporate Coach at annual leadership conference Why Some Employees Deliver and Others Avoid Work In almost every organization, leaders ask me the same question: why do some employees consistently perform, while others keep delaying, avoiding responsibility, or delivering below expectations? The answer is not always attitude alone, and it is not always skill alone. In my experience, the difference usually comes down to two powerful factors: commitment and capability . Key takeaway: When commitment and capability come together, performance becomes predictable. When both are missing, excuses multiply and results disappear. As a corporate trainer, TEDx speaker, and author of The Winning Edge , I have seen this pattern repeatedly while working with professionals across 1,000+ organizations. Whether I am speaking to frontline teams, managers, or senior leaders, this framework helps them understand people more clearly and lead more effectively. In this article, I want to simplify how I look at employees through the lens of commitment and capability, why some people appear to be working but avoid real accountability, and what leaders must do to build stronger teams. The Two Factors That Shape Employee Performance Let us begin with the basics. Every employee can be understood through two dimensions. Capability: Does the person have the knowledge, skill, judgment, and execution ability required for the role? Commitment: Does the person have the willingness, ownership, discipline, and intent to do the work sincerely? Many leaders make the mistake of judging employees only by outcomes. But outcomes are often the visible result of these two invisible drivers. An employee may be highly committed but still underperform because they lack capability. Another may be capable but still disappoint because they are not committed. And then there are those rare professionals who combine both. These are the people every organization wants to retain. Avinash Chate has often emphasized in training sessions that leadership becomes easier when we stop labeling people emotionally and start diagnosing them accurately. The Three Types of Employees I Commonly See In practical workplace situations, I usually explain this through three broad employee types. 1. Low Capability, Low Commitment This is the most difficult category. These employees neither have the required competence nor the desire to improve. They often avoid responsibility, blame circumstances, resist feedback, and do just enough to remain visible without creating value. They may look busy, but they are not productive. They may attend meetings, send messages, and make promises, but their work lacks substance. For leaders, this category creates frustration because coaching works only when the employee is willing. If both skill and intent are missing, the issue is not just performance. It becomes a culture risk. 2. Low Capability, High Commitment These employees are sincere. They want to do well. They t…
