22. The beatings will continue until morale improves.

Sadly enough, this is all complete BS a lot of the time. I intuitively developed all of those techniques when I was in charge of operations at my employer because it's what I wanted. And then I realized that when you do that crap, people just don't care. They're only there because they want money and they'll do the minimum amount of work not to be fired. If you want to be an effective boss and get efficient work done, you have to separate yourself from the employees and be a mean jackass that strikes fear into the heart of woodland creatures and humans alike. It's very rare that you actually get a group of employees who want to be alive while they're at work.

Motivated to make money, that's what matters to me. So I keep myself on task with assignments I challenge myself to complete. I find that is the ultimate factor in getting things done. Sorry to burst your bubble here, but all the written stuff about motivation doesn't do jack unless one really is passionate about what they do!<a class="user" href="http://redirect.alexa.com/redirect?www.makemoney.thewritersmanifesto.com">http://redirect.alexa.com/redirect?www.makemoney.thewritersmanifesto.com</a>

Good reminder. I think it comes down to treating employees like people and not just workers.<a class="user" href="http://www.media-partners.com/motivation/">http://www.media-partners.com/motivation/</a>
