Motivational Slogans

Companies resort to these, in the belief that unless we are constantly reminded of it, we just won't know how to organise our worklife, or we will just slack-off and do whatever we want. The assumption behind this technique is that we are basically stupid. "Think Quality" "The Customer comes first" . To many companies believe in these silly, simplisitic approaches to getting their staff to work productively, and they avoid the harder task building teams of people that work together well, investment in training, mentoring, work environment, process design and improvement. I'd rather see action on the real work and no slogan filled posters.
