Neat post, PB: on motivation. Will think of some answers. (g) The desire to possess, or to be useful and accepted by your fellow workers are two main ones. Doctors know that- if they can save just one life- makes all the effort worth while. Northrop workers were highly motivated by the vision and ideas of Jack Northrop, even if he wasn't on-site geocities.com Boeing uses both carrots and sticks- lots more sticks than carrots I seldom was on a job that wasn't rumored to be cut back soon. What engg wants to work for a company headed by a lawyer? So mentally I was doing the jobs for the DOD. Briefly, HD workers here are highly motivated (they get stock or options ) and organized and know their jobs. They could care less about the top dog, as long as he is well dressed if he passes thru. The (former) Kmart employees were the least motivated. Sig
