The Power of Courtesy and Recognition as a Daily Motivator :: Management Direct
"Alastair, I had a supervisor many years ago who actively solicited proposals for streamlining the business. Once I submitted a proposal to him; I thought it was really good. He said "I just don't know if it'll work." He was a very shifty guy. About a week later he introduced the proposal in a team meeeting...as his own! I'm not one to take that lying down. I confronted him in front of everybody including the owner and adamantly stated/yelled that it was my idea. Why was he taking the credit? The supervisor in question accused me of not being a team player. It pissed me off and sapped my motivation. It also made me fantasize for the remainder of my tenure about tying him up, blindfolding him, sticking a sock in his mouth, throwing him in the trunk of my car, driving him across the Mexican border and throwing him out with a sign that said "I am a snitch trying to infiltrate a cocaine cartel."

"Adam, I saw this hanging on 15 votes, so I called Yoni (I'll be visiting him later). I read him the article over the phone and asked him if it was worth of a vote. He said "Definitely not!" Just kidding! He said it is excellent so I have logged into his account and am casting the deciding vote. Happy #16! Rochelle Rochelle"How Social Media Addiction Saved Wallace Q.

"Dear reader(s)/commenter(s), I will be away for the next 24-36 hours at a place where, although they have internet, Social Media sites are blocked. Any further comments here, if in fact any are left, regrettably, will go unanswered during that time. Please do not take it as a sign of lax or disinterest. All things in due time. Yoni"Subscribe
How to beat the instant gratification before it ruins your business
"Timo, I remember the marshmallow study well as well as some similar tests they have done on monkeys. I think instant gratification is embedded in our psyche. We are a society that doesn't like waiting. Look at people's faces who are lined up at fast-food joints. Their mouths are watering. They are fidgety. They have that far-off look in their eyes. They could go sit down and get a nice meal in a diner but that would entail waiting 15 minutes...not an option :( NOW!!!!!!!! Yoni "
