"Out-Pout"
We all know what output is. Sometimes, perhaps even most of the time, output comes with an attitude.
During the auto industry’s struggles of the 2007-2008 era workers at General Motors and Chrysler awoke each day to hear news
stories alleging their work was inferior, the UAW and or management had destroyed the two great companies, and they deserved
to be bankrupt or entirely dissolved.
At the same time Ford employees heard their company was still viable and had great prospects for a profitable future.
Obviously this affected the output. Negative work environments cannot help but hurt productivity and, in some cases, quality.
When this happens the output becomes out-pout. When employees have placed a yeoman’s effort in completing a project or
report accomplished against time or resource barriers they, as humans, can pout about the process.
Out-pout can quickly become happier output by rewarding the staff that worked on it. Here are several low- or no-cost ways you
can turn out-pout to output:

- A personal letter to all that worked on the project
- Acknowledgement on the employee bulletin board or in the lunch room
