I can't release the book because the international copyright process on a trademarked term has not yet been completed. Besides, it hasn't even been printed yet. We are still working with drafts.<br /><br />If you leave me a number to call, I won't publish it, but I will call you.Petunia Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01168448898497786754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8210435929787404330.post-87905340556731483092012-01-25T13:51:27.156+08:002012-01-25T13:51:27.156+08:00Thanks for your feedback.

But somehow she just ends up doing things just way too slow. At this moment, she is finding it hard to just finish up her homework and i beleive it has to do with focus and negative self-image. I feel like I am fighting a losing battle and time is slipping by so fast.RFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00706196991154529431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8210435929787404330.post-63786999910083182042012-01-25T13:24:14.808+08:002012-01-25T13:24:14.808+08:00RF - The research literature states that you can&#...RF - The research literature states that you can't develop intrinsic motivation because it is assumed that personal enjoyment of activities is inborn.<br /><br />However, I have messed with strategies from 2 different streams of research and was able to get my son to enjoy reading when he initially didn't like it.<br /><br />I've put these strategies down in a book that is at its 3rd round of vetting. This book should be out by June 2012.Petunia Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01168448898497786754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8210435929787404330.post-65313986835097908552012-01-25T13:18:32.401+08:002012-01-25T13:18:32.401+08:00Hi,

Not any more, other than as a temporary patch to keep a feet-itchy talent. Even then, stick to pay: because higher pay that comes with a promotion merely reflects the new responsibility and effectively no pay increase. <br /><br />As for praise, the employee probably thinks to himself "you can shove it", even if politeness (if he's the polite kind) prevents him from articulating it.<br /><br />From my experience and perspective, the only sticky employee is one who becomes mersmerised with the boss or the job or both, which means 1)the employee must be the needy sort and 2)the employer/company is a charismatic leader who/which somehow attracts many followers.<br /><br />Now where in the world outside of religion do you find such a combination, hur, hur, hur!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8210435929787404330.post-39369798920830578892010-09-17T11:35:20.747+08:002010-09-17T11:35:20.747+08:00very good piece and i agree beyond the high pay, t...very good piece and i agree beyond the high pay, there're more to keep talents. i work with alot of HR directors before and their biggest worry isn't money to keep good people (will defo get approved) but keeping them motivated + increase their creativity + productivity in their work. <br /><br />'cos talents feel bored very easily, and once they see a bigger + more fun playground = time they throw The Letter, no matter how much benefits + money the HR is going to give. they're bent on leavingFresh Fry aka 福星https://www.blogger.com/profile/08676717356912288873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8210435929787404330.post-28059178378108155112010-09-17T11:26:52.151+08:002010-09-17T11:26:52.151+08:00Wow!

The process of knowing each individual and to bring out the best in them... somehow does not apply in the local culture. Plus the notion of NOBODY is indispensible, seems to reinforce the lack of engagement between employer and employee. Or maybe, many bosses (in MNCs) are worried of being outshine by their younger and more motivated subordinates that they purposely "de-motivate" them? <br /><br />In anycase, I'll buy your book if you publish it! I bet it will be a very insightful read because you walk the talk! ;)Wen-aihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18172686661966036174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8210435929787404330.post-67226082510260312782010-09-17T04:58:32.131+08:002010-09-17T04:58:32.131+08:00Ting - I'm trying to put these strategies (to ...Ting - I'm trying to put these strategies (to use on kids) down into a book simple enough for busy moms to understand.
