You are the VP of Operations in a firm that has enjoyed good success. However, in the past several months there has been a financial (and accompanying employee morale) downturn. The president of your company comes to you and says, “You are upbeat most of the time, I bet you would know how to cheer things up around here. I have allocated $5,000 over the next six months for you to use for any combination of incentives, etc. to help you create a more positive employee morale. Give me a three to four page proposal by the end of this week on how you might plan to improve things.”
