I'd watch out cos if there are any chicken empowernment agencies trolling this blog site, you could be in huge trouble. Needless to say. you make a good point. If those people who have a say in what our working envronments look like are not ensuring it's inviting enough for the 'clever' in people to emerge, the results may be exactly as you say. Certainly there are enough social experiments to back up your story. Sorry to hear about your chicken Steve.

I believe motivating employees is about nurturing an environment that promotes freedom, challenge and industriousness, while at the same time doing our best to privde the right tools to achieve this. Is work about pleasing the powers that be (stomping our hooves the right number of times)? Or are today's employees looking for fulfilment by stamping their hooves meaningfully?
