A Carrot a Day: A Daily Dose of Recognition for Your Employees

“Ability is what you are capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.”

—Lou Holtz, football coach

You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink. And while you can hire a person with amazing talent and ability, you can’t be sure she will use it to further your cause. Unless you recognize her regularly

The big three: ability, motivation and attitude. An employee has to have them all to reach company goals. Don’t drop the ball: recognize.
