143A Word of Advice

If you are interested in simultaneously providing recognition, building employee motivation, increasing satisfaction, and making better decisions, all you have to do is invite one or more employees into your office and ask for their advice, input, and suggestions on one of your projects.

Briefly explain the project and the strategies you have been using, and then tell the employees that you are interested in their perspective and insights. Give them an opening question and let the discussion go wherever the employees carry it. All you need to do is take notes and ask follow-up questions.
