Summary:<\/h1>\n

After a stroll with friends through Prince\u2019s Island Park in downtown Calgary, Alberta, William Lobay was frustrated with his sales team. In this time, he received five messages about tensions amongst them. Lobay created a team incentive program to motivate his team and encourage them to bond, but instead, this night was only one in a long line of conflicts that resulted from the new program. He worried that this incentive plan was not worth all of the trouble it was creating.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
