This presentation pools tangible and intangible factors driving performance under the “roof” of normal distribution. It then uses two metaphors to highlight the Multiplier Force Effect on performance. One metaphor is coal. Good quality coal burns well and ignites better in good oxygenated air. So are employees, ignite them in an atmosphere of happiness and their performances shall multiply. Unfortunately, the opposite is true. Even worse is that bad employees are like bad coal ignite poorly depriving the burning fire of engaged employees.
A second metaphor is tree branching and knowledge branching. Good employees branch out their knowledge to their peers. The more branching units we have, the larger Multiple Force Effect shall be.
2. Not only humans mostly have
normal distribution, but also their
emotions such as happiness
Extremely Unhappy Extremely happy
Moderately happy
3. Normally distributed emotions and
normally distributed performers on
the same graph
Extremely happy
Zone of High Levels
Ideas
Happiness
Performers
Influencers
Niches
4. Imagine a company having three
persons (units) who fall into the
high performance zone of the
normal distribution VS a company
that has seven performing
employees in the same zone.
What is the actual difference
between the two companies?
7. According to
the Multiplier Force law
It is:
7^2 – 3^2
= 49 - 9
= 40
The organization with
the 7 units has 40:1 times more
opportunity to win over
the organization with three
active units
8. How about the low performing employees
with low performing emotions?
Zone of Low
Performance
and Emotions
9. How about the low performing employees?
A good metaphor for them is
burning low quality coal
Zone of Low
Performance
and Emotions
10. How about the low performing employees?
There remains much to study the harmful attributes of
coal and how they may be minimized, avoided, or
completely removed to make coal burning less
harmful to the environment
11. So, are bad performers, even bad influencers and
low-quality happiness… here remains much to study
their effects on organizational performance
12. Bad performers may eat-up the
Multiplier Force and extinguish the
burning desire to perform among the
performing employees
13. Beware of the low burning coal-like
employees! They blow their toxic
smoke on the performing ones
polluting the work environment
14. “The farther away you are from the
center of the company, both
physically and emotionally, the
more likely you are to seek
alternative ways of doing things.”

physical as three to one."

34. Scenario - walks in the
office and see losses
everywhere. Lights on,
unused papers in the bin
and air-conditioning is on
when there no one in the
office
35. Company is losing. Lay-offs
are increasing.
Fear of job loss is escalating
like an inflated balloon.
