Employee Of The Year
is a very powerful award
within a company.
It should not be given out lightly.
Why?
Because the choice sends
a strong, clear signal
to other employees,
to management,
to customers,
to vendors.
It says
‘this employee
has the characteristics we appreciate.”
If the employee of the year tows the company line,
you’ll build a company of yes men and women.
If the employee of the year is an innovator,
you’ll build a company of innovators.
Think about where you want your company to go
and THEN select an employee
embracing that direction.
