Thomas Gilbert (performance improvement theorist)

Thomas Gilbert was a performance improvement theorist known for his work on how to enhance workplace productivity. He believed that improving performance depends on three key factors: proper resources and tools, clear expectations and consequences, and motivation or desire to perform well. Gilbert emphasized identifying and addressing specific workplace variables that influence performance rather than blaming employees. His approach focuses on analyzing systems to find precise ways to support staff, streamline processes, and ensure organizational goals are met efficiently. This systematic method helps organizations create environments where employees can succeed and perform at their best.
