Incentive Strategist Mugs

'How many times have I told to seize the day before it seizes you?'

'Dammit - how do we get in on that gross national product?'

'Congratulations, Yomp - we're giving you a bigger carrot!'

'My allowance isn't much - but I have a great benefits package!'

"Carrots just didn't get me going anymore, so I switched to chocolate instead..."

"I finally got tenure by publishing a research paper funded by a grant about subsidies."

Carrot VS Stick

'We can't cut entitlements for federal employees. We're federal employees.'

Performance Management: "We decided to get rid of the stick and just use the carrots."

'Stick and Carrot Business Incentive Consultants.'

'We hoped you'd respond more enthusiastically to our incentive program.'

"We couldn't give you a bigger office, so we shrunk everything down to make it appear bigger."

"Follow me."

"The teacher says I'm a poor listener, Dad. Will you raise my allowance?"
