if you're a manager who forced this nonsense on your employees you probably didn't bother to ask them if they wanted it. It probably never even occurred to you to step up to one of your employees and ask ""how would you like to be humiliated and treated like a small child? How would you like to be forced to go home after 9 awful hours and bake cookies for everyone in the office to avoid being labeled 'not a team player'?"" Because that's what Biz Futures really emphasizes. As to the first, I do not believe that a company can motive or change a person. That is the business of missionaries, evangelist and philosophers. Business has no business in shaping the beliefs and ideas of the employees. These motivational programs all have silent value-statements, and to propagate these is a a form of intellectual evangelism. In short, you manager is a missionary for the gospel of corporate success. Unless you specially work for a church, or a philosophy-specific organization, such as the Freemasons or a political party, this smacks of violating conscience.
I would also like to say I have tried to find some credentials for Jim Berquist and found none. I have watched him manipulate the ones who pay for the program (usually the boss) while humiliating the staff. I was in shock that this is allowed in the workplace and unfortunately puts employees in a situation where they have to agree or be fired.
I wanted to put this business in yelp since I have found no reviews and realized this guy is sneaking under the radar of any investigation.
