Abstract/Contents:Discusses techniques for motivating employees. Differentiates between a "Gotcha" management style and a "Well Done" management style. States that what "happens with a 'gotcha' management mentality is that critial attitudes and words flourish...[and] 'gotcha' management styles erode trust from those who manage and produce fear, uncertainty, and resentment." Describes a "well done" manager as someone who notices "when things are being done right and communicate the same to workers...Remember to look for progress from your employees and praise them for it." Concludes that "a well-motivated work force will always accomplish more and make the manager look good."
