Motivation and Recognition “Lose Weight Trap”
I think, in many companies motivation, recognition and engagement have fallen into the “lose weight” trap. The lose weight trap is my new ground-breaking motivation theory (patent pending TM’d and all that.)

“The Classic Ass-Tattoo Incentive Situation”
Never thought I’d have a post with that title. Never dreamed it. But there it is.

This Weeks Incentive Industry Compendium
Last week I started a new thing where I scour the web (well, just my RSS feeds, google alerts and twitter stuff) and provide a summary of what I think is interesting in the incentive, reward and recognition space. I'm using the service called "scoop.it." (It's in beta – and I have 10 invites – [...]
