“So c’mon, get to it. How much am I going to get?”
My employee is thinking that so loudly that I can practically hear it. OK, maybe I’m just imagining it, but I know it is far too true. I’m in the middle of a performance review with one of my dispatchers at my delivery company.

An energized and engaged workforce can transform your business from an also-ran to a market leader.

I’m often asked, “What is the ONE best way to motivate your workforce?” Well, I immediately want to say, “There are a series of different techniques you can use”…and then go on to explain all of them, but I know nobody wants to hear that. They want one thing. So, I tell them the ONE thing that I’ve discovered is the most motivating technique (even though you really need to develop a positive connection between you and the employees before you do it).
