Motivational Workplace: Why an MD Missed a Trick to Motivate His People

Creating a Motivational Workplace is Not All About Financial Incentives
A participant at one of my workshops, “How to be an Outstanding Manager”, recently told me this story.
He was a senior finance manager (will keep the organisation confidential), tasked with making savings of £15000 in his department. This was achieved, largely through the creativity and work of two particular individuals.
A few weeks later, the MD was visiting the department on a “flying visit”. The finance manager mentioned these two, and suggested he just spare a couple of minutes in his schedule to personally thank them for their work.
