Dead Chicken Award
I’ve shared the “Dead Chicken Award” idea with IT Managers all over the world, and I have yet to find anyone who knew what it is all about. I’ve used this principle a couple of times, , , in both cases it was with a younger team. It won’t go over as well with a senior or older group of employees.
This is one of many motivational techniques I’ve used successfully in my corporate days of managing IT organizations. Working in IT is challenging and can be stressful for your employees, , , and you.
This is why we need to take a break from time to time and find a way to have fun at work. Trust me, your employees will appreciate you and it will set you apart when you work at making your work environment a more fun place to be.
The “Dead Chicken Award” may not be the one for you, , , you need to do things that you are personally comfortable with and that’s appropriate for your particular team. But whatever you do, it’s important to introduce a thing or two, , , or three that lightens things up and helps your team have some fun. You will discover it helps motivate people.
