Why Motivate? Genius is one percent inspiration and ninetynine percent perspiration. -Thomas Edison
Helps your most productive employees become better Helps less productive employees become more productive Prevents management from overlooking high-potential performers
Un-Motivated Employees
Do not attract or retain clients or customers Negatively affect the morale of this around them Often quit or get themselves fired Do not care about the companys image or success Call in sick more often than satisfied employees in order to do anything else (and may even become ill from the anxiety of going to a job here they feel unappreciated, even mistreated). Will punch out in the middle of a crisis May do what is asked of them, but will rarely do more. The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lace of knowledge, but rather a lack of will. Vince Lombardi

Developmental Feedback
A fool gives full vent to his anger, but a wise man keeps himself under control. (Proverbs 29:11)
You are such a friendly person and I love hearing your stories. But, continual chatter adds to everyones end-of-the day pressures. We will all be more relaxed if you minimize your personal conversations for breaks and lunch. In the office, the Internet is used for business. Please save your personal instant messages and cyber shopping of home. Popping on for a quick look always takes more time than we realize. Snapping at your coworkers is not like you. Do you need to talk about something? Have you ever walked into a store and felt like you were interrupting the sales people? I dont want our customers to feel that way. Please take care of customers immediately. I have noticed a lot of errors in your typing since you have been _______.
