You don\u2019t really know what that person is up to, he doesn&#8217;t talk about work and you rarely see him asking questions? Almost like he doesn&#8217;t care? Well, that might just be the best performing employee in your office. A survey by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.leadershipiq.com\/white-papers\/job-performance-not-a-predictor-of-employee-engagement\/\">Leadership IQ<\/a> (via Forbes), says that in 42% of the companies, the best employees are the least engaged. Such employees are often bored and not motivated enough to be actively involved in their work.<br \/>\nYou might have noticed this, but a lot of great performers are usually weirdo\u2019s and slightly crazy. You have to be, to think and work differently. Like, you can\u2019t be normal if you are brilliant.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/simplify360.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/jan2011-001.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/simplify360.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/jan2011-001.jpg\" alt=\"jan2011-001\" width=\"314\" height=\"471\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Two kinds<\/strong><br \/>\nI\u2019m talking about two different tangents. On one hand, there are the quiet employees, who don\u2019t draw attention to themselves and tend to work alone. But they surprise you with their work, which is usually thorough and filled with unexpected insights. I noticed this when I was in college. The students, who made the best reports, didn\u2019t usually interact in class. They didn\u2019t ask doubts or answer any questions. Nor did they give any updates on their work. You\u2019ll find the same people in office doing the same thing. Give them a task, a deadline and then leave them alone.<br \/>\nThe other kind don\u2019t appreciate people hovering over them either. But they are more of the brash, unpredictable kind. Can you imagine Steve Jobs ever being an employee? He probably wouldn\u2019t take too well to orders. He would have too many ideas and always want more, and if he wasn\u2019t given the time of the day, he\u2019d be bored and would finally quit. Quite the story concocted, right? But you know these people, they\u2019re here, there, everywhere.<br \/>\nPeople are just and sometimes it\u2019s the employer\u2019s duty to understand different working styles and accommodate them. So the question arises, can you change the way these people work to fit your work culture? Are they conducive to the work environment? The former, you probably don\u2019t need to worry about. You have to let them be.But, what about the latter? How to do you handle them? Do you stoke their fire at the risk of disrupting the workplace? These kinds of questions warrant a psychological study or a workplace report. You\u2019ll get your answer there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you have that someone in your office?
