Have you ever asked your self why you work so hard and those around you just do not seem to take work seriously? It is almost as if they could careless if the company succeeds or fails, as all they want to do it get paid. As long as they get a paycheck for showing up and doing halfass work they just do not care one bit.Do you find it difficult to even relate to them or understand why they lack work ethic? Do you find it rather alarming that you cannot even understand their perception of the issue? Why is it that you

CEOs and Presidents often mistakenly treat key management personnel like Jell-O. They throw newly hired executives into the bowl, stir things up a bit, cool things off when things heat up and wait for things to gel. Viola. Perfect Jell-O every time.If this approach really worked, employee turnover would be non-existent. Everyone hired would fit the mold perfectly.

People who have frequent contact with your target market would be another group that offers possibilities.
