Discretionary Effort – The best gift you can receive from your employees.
Each day when an employee walks in the office door and starts work or begins work from a remote location, that employee makes a choice whether or not to give discretionary effort. Discretionary effort is the difference between the level of effort, creativity and problem solving one is capable of bringing to a task versus the effort required to just get by or make do and still receive a paycheck.
Praise for The Gift
“Upon reading How to Earn the Gift of Discretionary Effort, I instantly applied the principles to a real life scenario. After only reading the first chapter, I excitedly shared the Power Principle with a colleague who immediately applied it to an employee issue. Thie book is on-point and provides realistic tips and practices for everyday encounters. Enjoy!
