I often hear managers complain that their workers aren't motivated to do a good job or to deliver on time.
Ralph Stayer's article [http://www.wku.edu/~hrtm/CFS-452/Readings/stayer.htm How I Learned to Let My Workers Lead] describes how he changed his company, Johnsonville Foods, Inc., of Sheboygan, Wisconsin, into one where workers took responsibility for success and were motivated to do so.
