Summary Introduction

To Discuss:

If you think frequent small raises versus annual, larger raises is more motivating and if so why or if not so why not.

Case Summary: Some organizations tried to keep the motivation going among their employees by increasing the frequency of raises.

The evidence that is shown: “Fair isn’t a standard to be imposed unless a leader is attempting to impose mediocrity”, sounds super straightforward.      does this sound good?
