  • Title: Low-maintenance management: using a simple classification to rate employees' productivity and support requirements.
    Author: O'Brien JA.
    Journal: J Med Pract Manage; 2005; 20(4):199-202. PubMed ID: 15779519.
    Abstract:
    Employees vary in their productivity and their need for guidance, support, and other inputs that may be called "maintenance." This article provides a guide to classifying your team members by a gross ratio of perceived managerial inputs to productivity outputs. It also gives some approaches to understanding your own reactions and dealing with the needs of each group.
