Re: Recognizing employees

Hmmmm? Sounds like someone has solved the age-old problem of motivation ....
So .. how are you motivated? Different people are motivated by different
things. (Now that's pabulum!) However, the article by Mr. Cochran was right
on in my experience. I work with several hundred companies a year and
thousands in the workforce. I find that people "are" looking" for just what
Mr. Cochran said. The workforce is hungry for a motivating culture led by
men and women with integrity. (Do what they say and say what they do!)

It's interesting how many people will stand on the shore while people drown
and just throw rocks instead of doing something. Oh ... I understand a
person must know his or her limitations, but that does not mean to criticize
people who can swim and know how to save lives. (Actually, the analogy of
someone drowning is accurate to how people without motivation feel) I think
the old rule of thumb for life saving could be true in this case as well
.... "Reach, Throw, Row, Go". Perhaps in the future we will discover new
ways to get to those who need the motivation to not only perform but to
survive the rigors of the workplace.

Just A thought!
