Some people resist working towards goals...Why?

by Rick Baker
On Sep 17, 2013

Why do some people resist achieving goals?

I don't mean, Why do people fail to achieve goals?

I mean, Why do people intentionally fail to achieve goals?

Are those people:

  • expressing objections to authority...i.e., are they working to rule?
  • attempting to build job security...by ensuring a queue of work?
  • children seeking long-lost parental controls?
  • permanently soured on work?
  • thinking "Damn the Rich...this one's for Me!"?
What goes through people's heads when they know what their employer wants them to do, are capable of doing it, yet refuse to do so?
 
What can we do to help those people feel comfortable exploring middle ground?
 
What questions can we ask to gain a better understanding of what might motivate those people?
 
What actions can we take to spark their enthusiasm for a job well done?
