WHEN A GOOD EMPLOYEE GOES STALE

	When workers who have shown vigor and ability in the past
exhibit a decline in enthusiasm and performance, do you:

	Confirm that staleness is the problem by candidly 	
	talking with the employees about the incidents that 	
	have caused your concern?

	Tell stale employees you appreciate their past good 	
	performance and want to help them restore it?

	Look for ways to give them new, interesting, and 	
	challenging responsibilities?

	Ask the employees how procedures can be improved or 	
	routines can be rearranged to be more efficient or 	
	tolerable?

	Consider changing the stale employees' surroundings to 	
	break up job monotony?

	Keep praise from becoming predictable by freshening the
	way you recognize good work?

Does that help? YES or NO
