conversation with one talented manger over lunch today, we discuss how to recognize the shop mangers by providing better bonus, we hold different opinions but with mature attitude, as he try his best to convince me recognition is a very critic issue in sales force and try to make me believe if we recognize in half way, we may end up with even worst result, people who we recognized will not appreciate what we did for them, no matter how we explain; I told him my thoughts below :

1. every opinion have different interpretation, most likely, one favor it, one against it, no so call " Perfect " or " Idea " comments since we are not solving any mathematic problem or developing equation.
2. a decent but mature manager will try to making decision approaching the mix interest for both company and employee, if the decision he or she made won't upset 50% of the people related, then he or she shall go with the decision, and at the same time, convenience the minority the rationale behind the decision.
3. resources limitation theory, always keep you mind at how you play to deploy the company resource.
4. be guardian for your policy, if the rule made with no major wrongful, don't change it by minor request raised, if we need to adjust the rule to fit what we plan to do, carefully examine the impact, probably what we plan to do will suffer more then we expected.

My open attitude show him my though of handling this issue, he is smart with insist, my response is fair and think as an qualified CEO, nobody is wrong and we are not debating on it, but check each other with different view and position.

Anita Mui pass away this morning, another falling star, a good entertainer and artist.
