Which quadrant describes High Ability (Can Do) and Low Attitude (Won't Do)?

• A. Quadrant One: High Ability (Can Do) and High Attitude (Will Do)
• B. Quadrant Two: Low Ability (Can't Do) and High Attitude (Will Do)
• C. Quadrant Three: High Ability (Can Do) and Low Attitude (Won't Do)
• D. Quadrant Four: Low Ability (Can't Do) and Low Attitude (Won't Do)

Answer: (C)

Performance is determined by both what a person can do (ability) and whether they’re willing to do it (attitude). When someone has high ability but low attitude, they possess the skills but lack the motivation to apply them, so they end up not engaging in the work despite being capable. That combination is described by the quadrant that pairs High Ability (Can Do) with Low Attitude (Won't Do). In contrast, high ability with high attitude yields those who both can and will perform; low ability with high attitude are willing and can grow with effort but may need training; and low ability with low attitude are unlikely to perform due to limited capability and low motivation.
