Bob Nelson quotes:

An open-door policy doesn't do much for a closed mind.

An employee's motivation is a direct result of the sum of interactions with his or her manager.

You get the best effort from others not by lighting a fire beneath them, but by building a fire within.

It is always easier - and usually far more effective - to focus on changing your behavior than on changing the behavior of others.

Take time to appreciate employees and they will reciprocate in a thousand ways.

People may take a job for more money, but they often leave it for more recognition.

You get what you reward. Be clear about what you want to get and systematically reward it.

Take your work seriously and yourself lightly.

Take time to appreciate employees and they will reciprocate in a thousand ways
