Motivating people

[DodgyAgent]

You need a "MiniMe". Let him/her beat the slaves while you sort out what you really want to do.

A sort of "Gary Goldsmith" to your "Michael Dauncey"...

The job is yours shorty. When can you start on my lap? :

Why are so few people so poorly self motivated. In order that I can get my recruitment people working I have to hold them to account on their activity levels. they will work slowly to make three or four placements then start all over again and it will then be another 3 months to get the next 3 or four placements.

They get comfortable on their pittance of basic salaries and unless I feed them clients they just simply fiddle around doing as little as possible. Once they get work to do they will work pretty well but they will not go the extra yards in order to ensure a regular stream of placements without me micro managing them.

I have been doing it for years now and to be honest I am fed up with it.

I dont know if anyone said this as I cant be bothered to read through 8 pages of ravings, but pay them a low basic and performance related bonus.

If they place lots of people they are minted and so are you, if they dont bother they go home with £12k a year. Everyone is happy and it attracts the sort of people who want to work hard and earn.

You presume that I am capable of printing documents off a computer. I am flattered

You've redeployed your most cretinous staff member to posting on CUK for you, so that should help.

Research suggests you're wrong about that.

Research suggests he's wrong about everything.

Experience tells me Im correct. When you have some in the real world come back to me.

In the meantime, why has my Adblock stopped blocking these pairs of losers?

A bit weak to go neg-repping people for disagreeing with you, but it won't surprise anyone.

No, but if you read what the OP says, that's what he already does, and he's trying to find a better approach. Some people are actually willing to offer him advice that's perhaps a little different and thought provoking; I'm sure DA's smart enough to pick up ideas from others and apply what he thinks is good.

But as we know your judgment is faulty, so this isn't moving us along much.
