I remember my brand-new high school in '72 where they decided it was hip to put orange doors with m/f symbols in bright purple on the restrooms. I wonder if they're still there... :)

What struck me about Cramm's article most was that it was targeted towards motivating people who support executives, but its advice resonated for motivating senior developers as well. This research is being undertaken to support a senior Veep who's trying to have a broader motivational effect, and it'll be interesting to see what we come up with as the company has just received an edict from top brass to reduce the number of middle managers... which will dramatically reduce the 1x1 time available.
