How much encouragement?

Any industry, any company, is bound to have manpower issues.
It's the single one issue that is common to all.
A good staff is not good for always.
There's always the performance cycle of up and downs.
Only question is how much can you encourage that staff?
How long can you tolerate their down time?

Correction does much, but encouragement does more. Encouragement after censure is as the sun after a shower.

-- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
