Thanks for Nothing Paper

1. If praising employees for doing a good job seems to be a fairly easy and obvious motivational tool, why do you think companies and managers don’t often do it?
2. As a manager, what steps would you take to motivate your employees after observing them perform well?
3. Are there any downsides to giving employees too much verbal praise? What might these downsides be and how could you alleviate them as a manager?
4. As a manager, how would you ensure that recognition given to employees is distributed fairly and justly?
