This week I discovered just how competitive everyone I work with is. We made poster boards to keep up with how everyone is doing in certain areas of their job and we change the leader board everyday so the associates can see exactly where they are. There are no prizes but no one wants to be in last place. Just in the past three days the leader board has changed drastically. The person in last place has changed every single day. This is because the person who is last sees that and they go out and make sure at the end of the day they are no longer last.
I already knew that a few people were just as competitive as I am and I have used that to drive their performance. Now that I know all the associates, with the exception of maybe one or two, are competitive I may have to start coming up with some competitions to try to improve our performance in a few areas. We may even need to start doing prizes to motivate them even more.
