Most organizations\u00a0reach for\u00a0the same familiar levers when performance\u00a0suffers:\u00a0retrain the employee, adjust the incentives, improve communication, or\u2014if things are bad enough\u2014make a personnel change. These responses can help. But they can also miss the actual source of the problem entirely, which means the same issues resurface, in the same teams, year after year.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">There is a better way to approach this.

When even one is missing or misaligned, performance suffers\u2014and the nature of that suffering looks different depending on which dimension is the weak link.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The four dimensions are\u00a0<\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">May<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">,\u00a0<\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Must<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">,\u00a0<\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Can<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, and\u00a0<\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Want<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">May: Does the environment\u00a0permit\u00a0the behavior?<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">May addresses the informal permission structures and cultural conditions that either empower or restrict positive behavior.

This is distinct from potential or natural talent. A person may have\u00a0strong\u00a0natural aptitude for\u00a0a competency, but aptitude alone does not produce performance. The Can dimension clarifies where someone currently stands\u00a0relative\u00a0to what the role requires, and it is where investments in training, development, coaching, and mentoring must be targeted.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Can is\u00a0most commonly assessed\u00a0through performance reviews, 360-degree feedback, and cognitive ability tests.

It still requires effort, but the energy spent on it is replenished as it is\u00a0expended. People in strong Want alignment bring discretionary effort not because they are told to, but because the work itself calls it out of them. When Want is misaligned, performance can persist\u2014sometimes for a long time, in the case of highly capable and conscientious people\u2014but at a mounting cost that eventually surfaces as burnout, quiet disengagement, or the kind of present-but-absent performance that is among the most expensive conditions in organizational life.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Why All Four Matter<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The power of the Performance Compass is not in any single dimension\u2014it is in how all four interact.
