October 13, 2011, Greencastle, Ind. — "According to Steve Langerud, director of professional opportunities at
DePauw University and international workplace consultant, in lean times
the biggest obstacle to motivation is fear and anxiety of the unknown," writes Bruce Freeman in his nationally syndicated "Small Business Professor" column, which is distributed to 300 newspapers via Scripps Howard News Service. "While working with his small business clients he has found that there
are five things that can make all the difference in addressing the
unknown and maintaining motivation," Freeman writes.
The five tips include "Encourage intrapreneurs within your business" and "Say thank you. And mean it."
