It Ain’t About the Tsotschkes
Posted on Monday, June 30, 2008 by Frank RocheBill Strahan at Human Markets wrote a great piece today titled Before the Tee Shirts. The lead in to his Top 10 list knocked me out:
Here is my list of ten things that you should have in the work place before you fire up the silk screen.
My favorite is #7, which begins, “Pay competitively, reward success lavishly.” Put that one in your pipe and smoke it.

That is a catchy phrase. My only nit would be that the level of reward should be commensurate with the level of achievement. Some successes do not warrant lavish rewards. However, in general, the point is well made.
In today’s work environment, the catchiest of phrases would be: “we expect 5 people to the do work of 10 people, but will pay the 5 the same total what we would deliver to 7 people!”

Frank, I think you know I have a three-month-old part-time arrangement with a small but fabulous ad agency in my area. The three partners are more than just fellows with real vision; they are truly great employers. I’ve been around long enough to know they’re the real deal. I sent them Strahan’s link with a thank-you.
Thanks for the post and an opportunity to show my appreciation.

Msinformation, that is so cool. That place sounds so great…and you’re so great for it. Sometimes it’s just serendipity. I think Bill really hit a home run with his post…I was glad to link to it.
Robert, it’s the truth about asking much of the few. I’m a fan of making a reward big…or forgetting it. Little gestures are a loss.
