Five Ways Managers Miss the Mark
1. Acknowledging incorrect facts. Whether a person’s name is acknowledged incorrectly or an achievement is miscommunicated, this one definitely lacks effectiveness. Fact check, please!
2. Offering token gestures. Got paperclips? Um, not exactly. Bestowing someone with office supplies for a major accomplishment like a five-year anniversary or promotion will send the message that a major milestone isn’t that major at all.
3. Being vague. Giving someone at pat on the back for a “good job” is simply too generic. The best way to boost morale? Point to specific behaviors so people know what they did right.
4. Going overboard. Sometimes all people need to hear are two succinct words: “Thank you.” Simply giving credit where credit is due can be much more powerful than being over the top.
5. Overlooking contributors. Some people may shy away from attention but that doesn’t mean they don’t deserve to be recognized. OfficeTeam suggests celebrating “unsung heroes” who worked hard behind the scenes.

GPOY - farewell Vision Monday edition
two years ago, i started my first full-time editorial job at Vision Monday magazine. this is what i looked like then, at the Optical Women’s Association (OWA) annual soiree. that year, it was held at Diane Von Furstenberg’s showroom and i thought it was hella fancy. that doesn’t explain why i wore the denim jacket.
the gorgeous woman in the middle is my partner in (optical) crime Dee Carroll. she’s made the entire experience of working for a trade the best ever since she got me drunk during an Oliver People’s party at Sub Mercer and had me take a picture with Carson Kressley. i’ve only grown to love her more since that night. in this picture, she has longish red hair. she’s had three more distinct hair styles and colors in the last two years - and rocked each one of them.
i’ve only met the lady on the end twice, this first time here and the second time this past weekend when she was presented the OWA fancy pants of the year award. like me, she also dressed better this time around.
what i’m saying is, things change. and i’ve changed. par example: i no longer find it acceptable to wear denim jackets when meeting important designers. and in the spirit of change, tomorrow, i will say farewell to Vision Monday - the place that has been my home and the people that have been my family for two great years. it hasn’t always been perfect. sometimes, i wanted to jump out the ninth story window. other times, i wanted to throw people out of said window. but i’m happy to say no one was defenestrated in my time there. more than anything, i want that to be my legacy. i was going to say that i’ll always be glad this was my first job. but fuck it - let’s go with the window thing
saying goodbye to co-workers and packing up my desk
this feels like that time i graduated college (except i have an apartment and no longer bunk with my teenage cousin). anyway, it’s sad.
so far, i have packed:
- colored pencils
- mini disco ball
- felt “D” decoration
- photo booth photos
- photo of my mom w/ the Chick-Fil-A cow
(side note: Happy Birthday, Mommy!) - mini cuckoo clock
- old CMJ badge
the suitcase looks like i’m going to camp
My absolute favorite thing to do each month has been the “What Are You Wearing?” feature. It’s not difficult to figure out - I ask optical shop owner what glasses they like. Since I’m leaving VM this week, here is a year in review:
By Delia Paunescu
Assistant EditorBy now, we’re sure you’ve seen our popular What Are You Wearing? feature - which comes out every month on Vision Monday’s Endpage. But the retailers and glasses they’ve shared with us are so fantastic, we wanted to put them all together. Below is a recap of all the fun styles we’ve had throughout our first year. We’re sure you’ll enjoy.
