‘Appreciation must be made in public while criticism should be in private'. This was the unwritten rule followed by the management of a company. In its sales force is a manager who found that public criticism (on mail, at meetings) worked wonders for a few people on his team. He had the numbers to show for it – overall productivity went up. But overall motivation - and output of some good performers - suffered.
