Are you rewarding your people correctly?
We often need to reward our children and team members.
Do we do it correctly. Let us check.
A group of students is given a set of puzzles and then they are divided in two groups.
Group A is prized for their ability and intelligence e.g. Wow, you got x number correct. That is a really good score. You must be good at this activity.
Group B is praised for their efforts. You must have worked really hard on these tasks.
During the next round, the students are given a choice of tasks.
They could choose an easier task or a challenging task from which they could learn a lot. What do you think will be the results?
Which group will choose the easier task and which would choose the challenging task? What are you rewarding your people for?

Negotiation is an important life skill
We negotiate most of our waking hours. We negotiate with our team members, colleagues, bosses and vendors at work, with our kids, spouse and parents at home. We negotiate during buying or selling of an asset e.g. house, car and also conflict resolution and during salary negotiations. Negotiation is an important life skill and it contributes to our success.
If we do not negotiate well or don’t negotiate at all then there is a big chance that we are going to leave money on the table, which could have been ours. We often don’t negotiate because we feel it is inappropriate or feel uncomfortable and fear it.
“You don't get what you deserve. You get what you negotiate.” Chester Karrass
