Recognize and reward.
Essentially, everybody wants to do a
good job, I believe. So when
they feel that they’ve been
given the tools to excel, when they’ve been given the environment where excellence is recognized and then when they’ve
been recognized for an excellent performance, they are all
motivated.
While it does sound simple,
it really does work.
There’s a variety of ways
depending on where in the
organization they lie. There are
some people that respond to
praise. Try to do that. Nobody
ever does enough of that.
Personally, I send cards to
people’s homes. Just little thank-yous or recognitions for specific
things where they’ve done well.
Then, on our management
group, I think it’s important
that there be a financial incentive, an income system that
rewards excellence.
