  • The Current Facts On Postage Stamps  By : John Francis

  • The Value of “Discipline” In Our Lives  By : Ken Charnly
    Behind every great achievement in anyone’s life lies discipline. We see this in every human endeavour. In the field of sports we see this repeated again and again. Outstanding sportsmen spend all their time practising. In the process many of them make so many sacrifices which ordinary men and women are not willing to make. The same is true of businessmen who build up fortunes. Most often we see only that they achieve, but once we go behind the scenes we see that they had put in a lot of discipline. We all have read of great musicians, writers and inventors who have created or discovered breakthroughs in human achievement. Invariably they have said that they owe all their success to discipline.

  • Formal Recognition Ceremony Has Its Place  By : Chris Herrmann
    Louise Erdmann felt like Gwyneth Paltrow at the Oscar ceremony. She had only been with her current company for a few months but here she stood, at the Christmas Party, receiving a reward for being the "Best Newcomer of the Year" and fighting back the tears. The awards were partly serious and mostly light-hearted but, for some reason, it meant a lot more than getting a 2+ in your appraisal.

    Research has uncovered the fascinating fact that recognition is the number one motiv...
  • Does Recognition Get You In A State?  By : Chris Herrmann

  • Industrial Psychology And Recognition  By : Chris Herrmann
    In his job as an accountant, Anthony Stirling felt that the monetary rewards for his job were as good as he could expect. What he found difficult to understand was the feeling of lack of worth that turning up every Monday morning gave him. The office was highly efficient but people very rarely seemed to have time to talk to each other and his boss was a distant figure who barely knew his name.

    The reason why individuals, like Anthony, need recognition, other than money, to...

  • Is Negativity Worth Reward And Recognition  By : Chris Herrmann
    Project Management is a Cinderella occupation. Nick Garratt knows this only too well. He has to use not only his planning and organizational skills to keep the team of engineers and technicians on timetable, he also has to be the bearer of bad news and the motivator, all in one package. To top it all, the stars of the project are always the designers and the demonstrators. They inevitably receive most of the limelight and are usually first in line for plaudits.

    When is it ...
  • Make Sure You Recognize The Right Performance  By : Chris Herrmann

They are both designers working on the same project and the Vice President has just made an announcement that special bonuses will be paid to employees making the best contribution in their field of expertise. The problem is, it's difficult to differentiate between Elly's work and Gary's work because they interact so closely.

    This example demonstrates a few things about reward and recog...
  • Do You Have A Life Plan?  By : Deanna Mascle -
    During the course of our daily lives, we make plans. We make plans for dinner, for trips to the grocery store, and for cleaning our house. We also make long-term plans for our education, our finances, our businesses, and our vacations. However despite all the planning that we do very few of us actually make a life plan and this is a critical oversight as a life plan would encompass all those areas as well as our self development, personal relationships and happiness.
