Punished by rewards
Punishment and reward proceed from basically the same psychological model, one that conceives of motivation as nothing more than the manipulation of behavior. As part of my own development and in an attempt to keep my mind as open and fresh as possible, I take to reading all sorts of things. On my current reading list is a very interesting book called “Punished by Rewards” by Alfie Kohn, author, speaker and educator. He writes about the trouble with “gold stars, incentive plans, As, praise and other bribes”.

For All the Chips: Intel’s Rise to the Top
After signing a research contract with Sherman Fairchild’s Fairchild Camera and Instrument Corporation, the eight former employees of Shockley Semiconductor Laboratory launched Fairchild Semiconductor. Each of the eight had invested $500 in the startup, while Fairchild put up over $1.3million. “That may not sound like much now,” Moore says, “but it was a month’s salary in 1957.”

Lesson #1: Managers Are a Company’s Main Motivators

THE POWER OF THE MARKETING PYRAMID
By John Doerr “All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others.” - George Orwell, Animal Farm 1956 Imagine this scenario: you are at a professional services firm that has just come off a fairly good year of growing revenue and profits. You want to continue this growth going into the coming year and have decided you are finally going to take some of these profits and invest in marketing. You have accumulated a list of 1,000 clients, former clients, and prospects to target. Everyone turns to you and asks, “Well, how are we going to invest our hard-earned profits?”

Information Highway Roadkill!
Don't Become Part of the Information Highway Road Kill. Road kill refers to the animals that have been struck by a motor vehicle and killed. You can rarely go on the highway without seeing roadkill.

The Internet is often been referred to as the information highway and it has its own version of roadkill. There are no motor vehicles on the information highway but there definitely is a lot of roadkill! The information highway is strewn with defeated and broken entrepreneurs.
Make Service Your Nature
The economic recovery is on its way according to the animals around my house. And, they seem to be trying to let me know just that. I recall how my childhood dog got under the back porch steps if a storm was coming. If she paced around a lot and whimpered, you could count on a hard rain. She was never wrong. Nature seems to be able to foretell the future.

What do animals have to do with marketing?
About a year ago now, I went along to a presentation on sales. The presenter advised us to think about people’s personalities when selling as four key animals – Monkeys, Lions, Dolphins and Elephants. Although all of us have a mixture of these personalities within us, we’re all dominated by one of them too.

Here’s A Smelly Subject
There are really only a few common causes of bad odors. It can be from a human or animal source or often it is fungal. Today, I want to address when it is caused by animals or people who act like animals. The worst has to be a bladder control problem from a cat. However, male animals tend to mark their territory by spraying vertical objects like walls and furniture. Most wall substrates are porous and will soak up the urine and retain all the odors just to dispense it over time. Wood floors are also highly absorbent and will act like a wick to all liquids. Funny enough, most folks figure that if it’s dry, it’s gone. WRONG! Those odors are there to stay and will come back to haunt the unwary buyer. Don’t let that be you.
