Adventure:

 

Create a team of happy individuals.

Allow them a social responsibility by asking them:

Questions:

1. What are the customers telling you?
2. What can we do to reduce wastage?
3. What lines should we drop and what lines should we develop and why?
4. Are your team safe in their current practices?

Start with the feel good questions, keep things one on one. Interact with your team and develop their ideas - take them skiing on a weekend and engage their enthusiasm. They are ambassadors for your company.

Their good will is your good will - help them develop.

Test their knowledge by having prizes on the best idea for the month, the booby prize for the worst job badly done, spot good work and reward it with training and agreeable praise. The odd bottle of wine will get you increased production.
