Tom Gilbert • Gilbert’s Third Leisurely Theorem: “For any given accomplishment, a deficiency in performance always has as its immediate cause a deficiency in a behavior repertory (P), or in the environment that supports the repertory (E) or in both. But its ultimate cause will be found in a deficiency of the management system (M).” Human Competence: Engineering Worthy Performance (1978), p.76. © Fred Nickols 2010
Douglas McGregor • “…the performance P of an individual at work in an industrial organization is a function of certain characteristics of the individual I, including his knowledge, skills, motivation, attitudes and certain aspects of the environmental situation E, including the nature of his job, the rewards associated with his performance, and the leadership provided him. • P = f (I a,b,c…E m,n,o) The Professional Manager (1967), p.5 © Fred Nickols 2010
