Managing employee performance effectively requires leaders to identify and implement strategies that keep employees motivated to continually perform well and produce outstanding work. Effective leaders motivate employees to follow them because employees want to follow them, not because they have to follow them. The same goes for motivation, and leaders can leverage the intrinsic motivation employees experience when they like what they do
