I'm glad you all seem to have understood what I was getting at. I think you're nailing it best, Silverstorm; career growth, long term goals, adding new skills..

I'm glad you all seem to have understood what I was getting at. I think you're nailing it best, Silverstorm; career growth, long term goals, adding new skills...I put them all in the same bucket. In my experience, when you help people with their long term goals, even if it's not their core job, you get a much more motivated team member. I'm a big fan of what Reid Hoffman advocates for in the Alliance; work is a two way relationship and if we treat it that way, and are honest about it, we can all benefit more.
