Whether they will admit to it or not, everyone likes to be recognized. You have probably read books or head experts speaking on leadership refer to EPR; Encouragement, praise, and recognition. I believe that this is the only true form of leadership. It overrides all forms of management, or supervision. People follow true leaders, not out of fear, but out of respect and loyalty. In this discussion, I am going to focus on various types of recognition you can offer in the work place.

A silly little award can go a long way. I have seen people struggling to make ends meet, because their boss was not able to pay them very well, however, they were complimented in public in front of a large group, and made to feel special. This person carried a big smile for quite some time afterwards.

Years ago, a similar thing happened to me. I had made a sale that day and turned it in for our secretary to process and complete. Later in the day, she made the comment as I walked by, ”wow, you seem to turn in business all the time. I always see your name on the business I process.” I felt good and wanted to turn in more business. The business I had turned in would result in several thousand dollars of commissions, and although I was obviously happy about that, I wanted to go and find more business to right because I liked the recognition I received by our secretary.

There are many ways that we can be rewarded for our work. Some companies will cater lunch or offer the employee of the month parking space. Even more impressive is a plaque with our name and accomplishment engraved upon it. Granted, you cannot give out plaques every week, but they certainly last longer that sub sandwiches. A plaque on the wall describing an employee as a top salesman, for example, serves as a constant reminder that they are a top salesman. The best plaque I ever received had a big sword mounted on it. I just looked cool. It attracted a lot of attention and questions, and it gave me many opportunities to brag about my accomplishments. Later I was given another plaque with a sword, and now I had two swords to brag about.

The more personal an award can be the better. The aim is to show them that you really appreciate them, and value their contribution. People will bend over backwards and go the extra mile if they feel appreciated.

I kept asking myself, “What is that infuriating whirring noise?” As I sat in the comfort of my home reading a book on the couch, I could not figure out where the noise was coming from or what is even was. I glanced over at my wife and she was seemingly undisturbed.

“Cant you hear that noise?” I asked with a tone of slight confusion and even a little frustration.

My wife looked up from her book, furrowed her brow in concentration as she cocked her head and listened. “No, I don’t hear anything at all.”

“Oh, ok. Never mind then.”

I sat and wondered what the noise could possible be. As my mind unwittingly wandered over the events of my day, I suddenly realize where the noise was coming from: the sound of the paper shredder had burned itself into my mind.

That day at the office I had decided to go through room full of old sensitive documents and finally shred them. The noise was irksome to me and everyone else in the office. To make things worse, when I finally finished going through old boxes (which I had to do myself because others would not have known exactly what needed to be destroyed) I had a couple of employees help me carry the large trash bags of shredding to the dumpster.

As if the shredding process wasn’t bad enough, one of my employees accidentally ripped open one of the bags while carrying it and paper shreds exploded everywhere as if we were throwing confetti at a celebration of some sort.

As my thoughts returned to the present sitting on my couch, I was overwhelmed with how much I detested shredding paper. I put my book down and went to my computer to look for companies that do paper shredding in Charlotte or in neighboring areas.

As I sit hear in front of my computer now, the one thought that keeps coming back to me (interrupted only by the memory of the sound of the paper shredder) is “I never want to waste my time shredding paper again!”

A limousine service provides us with wonderful opportunities. First of all, this service provides us with needed transportation when we need a ride or pick up to and from the airport. It is nice to know you don’t have to purchase a car in every state, but rather rely on a professional limousine service you can count on to arrive on time, in style, and with luggage help.

Many of my fun experiences from high school dances also involve the utilization of a pampering limousine service. It makes a young guy feel proud of himself for supplying such an extra treat for their date, and it makes a young girl feel special to be given the treatment. It also provides parents with a peace of mind knowing there is a responsible adult with invested concern for safety driving the group of teenagers around.

When searching out a New York limo service, Blue Star has the expertise and professionalism you are seeking for. Blue Star Limo also serves Connecticut and New Jersey limousine patrons. They offer you a commitment of the highest quality ground transportation possible. They provide anything from stretch limousines to 1-3 passenger town cars. They also offer a variety of packages and services to fit the unique circumstances and needs of any particular client. On your next search for a Connecticut limousine provider, search for Blue Star and experience what a limousine service really should be.

Planning and making arrangements for a wedding, special anniversary, birthday surprise, special outing with friends or family, a memorable prom date, or travel preparation can be easy with a limousine service focused on helping you specifically.

Stainless steel is an alloy that is a top choice in domestic and industrial appliances because it does not corrode, stain or rust as easily as regular steel. Stainless steel is non-toxic, in addition to being zinc and lead-free. It’s a perfect metal for domestic use in surgical instruments, cookware, cutlery, hardware, major appliances, industrial, automotive, construction and aerospace applications.

Stainless steel is easy to clean, will not chip, fade or crack. Stainless steel is also recyclable and basically lasts a lifetime. Considering these factors about stainless steel, it is a cost effective option over other product uses for applications needing strength, antibacterial features and longevity.

The alloy contains 11% chromium and includes iron ore, silicon, carbon, nickel, manganese and nitrogen in the smelting process and eventually rolled into stainless steel sheets as a main method for use. The process of making stainless steel sheets is highly monitored to generate the correct temperatures for strength and low fracture toughness.

The earliest application for stainless steel dates back to 400 AD as a search for develop a non-corrosive metal began. By the 1800’s the search continued to find a non-corrosive metal for swords and wartime applications. As the alloy was refined, it was used for storage tanks for breweries throughout Europe. By the early 1900’s, stainless steel alloy was adopted and patented in the U.S. and used for gun barrels and was eventually introduced into automotive, aeronautical and medical industries.

When you think about it, stainless steel surrounds us in our everyday lives. Look around and you will see how stainless steel enhances the quality of our lives.

Foreclosures are escalating, joblessness is escalating, gas prices are escalating and mortgage interest rates are edging upward while the stock market is edging downward after a short, positive spurt. Let’s step away from the negative and look at the positive side of things.

Imagine being free of debt, everyone’s dream. No more sleepless nights, no more threatening phone calls from bill collectors, no more mounting credit card balances with high interest and fees, no more anxiety as you say your prayers every night. It is time to make some changes for the better and you can do it.

Here are a few tips on becoming debt free:
• First, resolve that you will make changes in your life and stick to it. If you can’t afford to purchase something, walk away and go back when you can.
• Distinguish between bad debt and good debt. A home mortgage can be considered good debt, which is equity. Bad debt is paying on a car that only depreciates in value. All other credit card debt is bad debt. Get rid of it as soon as possible.
• Stop using credit cards and start paying with cash. If you must use a credit card, pay the balance when it’s due. No more bad debt balances.
• Contact a Christian debt management group to help guide you through the maze of collections and unpaid balances.

Continue the prayers because it doesn’t hurt to call on a higher power to give you strength to get through it.
