How to recognize & reward employees.......2000-04-28

How to recognize & reward employees by Donna Deeprose, a perdition of AMACOM American management association, the work smart series. This informal book is divided in to three parts. Part 1 three reasons to recognize and reward employees. This part tells three ways to improve performance and morale. The first Is EQUITY, a fair day's work for a fair day's what? Accounting to the equity sections, all organizations acknowledge the need to establish an equitable between the employee's contribution to the organization and of the organization contribution the employee. The first thing that comes to mind is, "for a fair day's pay." But, the employee may need more from the employer the employee has every right to expect the manger to help them meet their goals. All of this can be summed up in the equity equations. First, what the employee receives from the employer must be equal in value to the quality and quantity of work done by the employee. Next, what the employee receives from the employer must be equal in value to what is received by other employees doing similar work of similar quality and quantity. Third, what the employee receives from the employer must be equal in value to what is received by people who do similar work for other organizations. Sections two, MOTIVATION, incentives to maintain and improve performance. What this book means by motivating other people is inspiring individuals and teams to do the best possible job by creating an environment in which they want to perform to the best of their abilities. As a motivator, money has three strikes against it. One, its impact is short lived. Two, what start out as a reward for exceptional performance tends to become perceived as entitlement. Three, when people are paid to do specific tasks, the money tends to supplant intrinsic motivation. If not money, then what? Many people are motivated by things that can not be measured at all. The challenge for the manager is to recognize what each employee is seeking. Then, identify ways to reward the employee by satisfying that need. Sections three, clarification, what's really important to the company? Tell employees what major function, behaviors and outcomes the organization values most. This is the function of the mission and value statements. Part two, ten Guideline for recognizing and rewarding employees. Guideline 1, Determine your goals and get employee input Guideline 2, Specify reward criteria Guideline 3, reward everyone who meets the criteria Guideline 4, Recognize behaviors as well as outcomes Guideline 5, Spin the golden rule Guideline 6, Say, "thank you" frequently Guideline 7, Nurture self-esteem and belonging Guideline 8, Foster intrinsic rewards Guideline 9, Reward the whole team Guideline10, Be careful: you get what you reward. Part three, 100 ways o recognize and reward people. Like part two, it lists some good idlers. Yes there are 100 of them so I'll share the three that I like best. 1. Work unit yearbook or "annual report" featuring accomplishments of all employees. Desktop publishing makes it possible to do a professional looking job inexpensively. Each employee gets one. Keep yours prominently displayed in your office. 2. "Do it your way." A reward for the rebel in your group who always thinks there's a better way. Perhaps there is. Give this person a chance to try, backed up by reasonable rescues. 3. A handwritten thank you note to an employee, with a copy in the recipient's personnel file. This book is very helpful to the manager. It can help managers evaluate themselves, their employees, and there organization. Assessing your own behavior is a good way to pinpoint the areas in which you might want to do more toward recognizing and reward employees in your organization.

A taste of the good life.......2001-11-09

Too often (way too often) managment tends to believe that the paycheck at the end of the cycle, or the work itself is award enough to give their employees, and that they dont need any more motivation than that to stay productive. These days, that is being interepreted by long hours and low wages, and no thanks. Our work force is more stressed, and demands are too high on them for the little they get.

This book will give both employers with deep pockets, and those who scrape by a way to reward and motivate their employees to do a good day to day job, and to be more productive.

While not exhaustive, it is a great (and inexpensive) introduction to taste the good life by winning over your employees.

Book Description

Hitler's Legacy is the first comprehensive look at the Nazi problem in Germany from 1945 until today. The work stresses the major personnel controversies that arose from the reappearance of Nazis in key positions and the payment of generous pensions to Third Reich officials by West German governments. The first comprehensive summary of Germany's own war-crime trials held since 1945, it also provides an overview of the allied postwar war crime trials at Nuremberg and elsewhere. Two case studies highlight the post-Nazi milieu of 1950s West Germany: Theodor Oberlaender and Hans Globke. Both men played significant roles in the Nazi regime and became more prominent in Adenauer's 1950s West German government.

Book Description

Why do the stars shine? What messages can we read in the light they send to us from the depths of the night? Nuclear astrophysics is a fascinating discipline, and enables connections to be made between atoms, stars, and human beings. Through modern astronomy, scientists have managed to unravel the full history of the chemical elements, and understand how they originated and evolved into all the elements that compose our surroundings today. The transformation of metals into gold, something once dreamed of by alchemists, is a process commonly occurring in the cores of massive stars. But the most exciting revelation is the intimate connection that humanity has with the debris of exploded stars. Stellar Alchemy is an engaging account of nucleosynthesis in stars, and the associated chemical evolution of the Universe, that is suitable for the general reader. Michel Cassé is an astrophysicist and the author of several books (in French) of astronomy for the general public.

Book Description

This authoritative volume includes contributions from a wide range of researchers of intertidal sediments. Individual chapters explore the underlying biogeochemical processes controlling the behavior of carbon, the nutrients nitrogen and phosphorus, and contaminants such as toxic organics, trace metals and artificial radionuclides in intertidal environments. The biogeochemistry of these environments is critical to understanding their ecology and management. Each of the chapters includes a comprehensive review and the results of recent research. The contributors are active researchers in this diverse and ecologically important field. This text is mainly for researchers and managers working with intertidal sediments, but it will also serve as a valuable senior undergraduate and graduate reference text in environmental chemistry, environmental science, earth science, and oceanography.

Book Description

The focus of leaf development modeling in the last two decades has been on predicting commercial crop yields and identifying the constraints on them. The weakness of this approach: the implicit belief in the existence of a "global brain" deciding which parts of the plant are deficient and directing remedial action. Leaf Development and Canopy Growth presents an alternative view based on "local rules" - the simple results of metabolic processes within each cell. These rules and the interconnections between them provide the means for self-organization within the plant and emergent global behavior - the "apparent" brain. The book discusses the evolution of plant forms in relation to fitness for survival. It demonstrates the potential for the existence of several alternative forms which are locally optimal on a fitness landscape - alternatives that increase with the number and order of selection pressures imposed. It covers the leaf laminae and their utilization of absorbed energy to fix carbon from the atmosphere. The editors consider a diverse range of species, both as monocultures and mixed-plant communities. The evolution of plant forms affects the diversity and survival of the whole canopy and diversity within the canopy. Leaf Development and Canopy Growth explores this relationship in a thorough and thought-provoking manner. It places the leaf and canopy in the context of the whole plant and the survival of community diversity - both within and between species.

You Cannot Read This Book Soon Enough!.......2007-10-06

This book did a wonderful job of orienting me financially so that I could visualize where I was at financially and what I would have to do to have the kind of future that I wanted. In my case, I wanted to retire in my fifties to pursue my own interests. For me, working for others was just a way to make money to support my family, etc. Anyway, I read this when I was in my early forties, and I managed to retire in my late fifties. There were some fortuitous events that helped me along, but I give Joe Dominguez most of the credit (along with what retirement savings we had already accumulated).

This is not the best book for learning the essentials of how to invest and what not. The author's advice in this regard is probably too conservative. He advocates investing in treasury bonds only, and regards the stock market as too risky. Conventional wisdom is that investing in such bonds only is also inherently risky, and that you need to diversify among asset classes to control risk. However, it is unlikely that anyone I know is going to retire due to a "great year in the market". And of course, me and my friends that looked at the 20% a year (or greater) returns in the wild and wacky 90's and assumed that was the norm, either learned from guys like Joe, or we learned the painful lessons that so many before us have learned when the market melted down. The author's use of the long bond as a safe return is right on. Today, to enjoy a retirement income of $40k, you need about $800k invested, just not all in bonds.

You can readily find books that explain modern portfolio theory in easy to understand language. This book, with its simple planning and tracking exercises, has helped me to no end in understanding why I spend money, where I spend it, and how to get it under control. And the long term planning exercises, and the author's whole point of view on the subject, are priceless. I was so excited after reading this book, that I bought copies for my children (who were young adults). Their books went unread, but I am going to read it again. There has always been an extra copy around the house--one of the fortuitous events that has helped me along.

A Good Reality Check.......2007-10-06

I first read this book about ten years ago when I was working hard and watching the money go out faster than it came in. It was a great reality check on my life. Older now, and rereading it today it is still inspires me. It makes a perfect gift for younger people who are confused about the lack of personal satisfaction in their lives.

The basic premise that this is your life and you choose how you want to live it is its defining characteristic. The rest of your life flows from that. Acknowledging what has meaning for oneself and then directing one's actions to those ends can get lost in the day to day need to "earn a living."

It covers well the nuts and bolts of making these choices and giving you tools to enable accomplishing them. It is a little simplistic and conservative financially but given that it was written before the growth of the online economy it can really get you started.

Taking charge of one's life, not going with the flow, climbing up the corporate ladder, working at a job that is meaningless is well addressed. The next step is choosing how to live a meaningful life and examining other choices.

A book that has been helpful to me in this area is Internet Riches: The Simple Money-making Secrets of Online Millionaires, by Scott Fox. This book is a detailed practical guide to building an online business, full of strategies and thought-provoking ideas. Like Your Money or Your Life, it talks of building a life that is meaningful and gives you up-to-date tools for financial independence through self-employment.

Your Money or Life stops you in your tracks with its challenging thesis and Internet Riches gives you a new roadmap for implementation. Both are useful books with a positive message.

Disappointing book, doesn't live up to its title.......2007-10-04

I was shocked to discover they recommend investing only in bonds. Also their claim that inflation does not exist is bogus.

I can't believe they would recommend you quit a full-time job which usually has benefits to find part-time work which usually does not provide benefits. Have you tried buying your own health insurance? I have and it is not cheap. Sure, you get more time to yourself, but at the same time your earnings go down your insurance expenses go up. If you hate your job anyway you might consider doing this, but I don't see how they could recommend this in a general sense as a path to financial independence. The numbers don't add up.

While I think their advice to live within your means, make a budget, know where your money is going, calculate your net worth is all good, I think they have gone off the deep end on some of their other recommendations which makes me highly suspect of the book as a whole.

rethinking money.......2007-08-24

This book made me rethink how money works and how it can work for me. It is a reality test for how we really spend and it coaches you on how to get in control of your money instead of letting it control you. I reread this every once in a while to reset my financial vision.

Jewels Among Feces.......2007-07-29

Occasionally a book will appear on the scene that embodies the written equivalent of jewels among feces. This book represents such an example. I found it both enlightening and infuriating at the same time. I only read it back in late 1999 because I received it at no charge as a bonus "best seller" for joining a book club.

The philosophy of the authors, Joe Dominguez and Vicki Robin, amounts to a leftist, anti-capitalist, pro-environmentalist screed. They explain how the Protestant work ethic advocates joined forces with the captains of industry to dupe us all into devoting our lives to the dirty task of making money. They did this so we could load ourselves with products and services we do not need and cannot afford. Captains of industry profited from this arrangement. Since "idle hands are the devil's workshop," Protestant work ethic advocates did their part to promote it so as to keep us busy and out of trouble. The authors document how the growth of capitalism has damaged the environment, devastated communitarian spirit, and wrought a host of other social ills. This attitude permeates the entire book.

Those who grasp Objectivism, the philosophy of Ayn Rand, understand the foibles of these arguments and their refutations and I will not repeat them here. I only want to note that despite these failings, this book does warrant a read for the simple reason of its clearly elucidated full cost accounting methods. These methods include carefully evaluating the cost of every new purchase in terms of continued upkeep as well as that so-called "job opportunity" that can actually leave you poorer after accounting for additional costs of fuel, wardrobe, etc. In conjunction with my article "Experiencing Objectivism through Quicken," which you can read via a Google search for that exact phrase, this book can put the reader well on his way to a firm grasp of his cash flow and how to align it with his core values. Just bear in mind that the core values of an Objectivist will arise from a different philosophy than the core values of the authors!
