Bob Nelson

People may take a job for more money, but they often leave it for more recognition.

You get the best effort from others not by lighting a fire beneath them, but by building a fire within.

Just the act of listening means more than you can imagine to most employees.

An employee's motivation is a direct result of the sum of interactions with his or her manager.

Take time to appreciate employees and they will reciprocate in a thousand ways.

Take your work seriously and yourself lightly.
