In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: A goal that is not realistic or too broad or vague will have a demotivating effect on your employees. You want your employees to reach the end of their work day feeling like they accomplished small goals, instead of feeling like they will never achieve a larger, more intimidating goal. For example, being one of the top ten distributors in a market with hundreds of competitors is an unrealistic goal for a small, growing business. It might be more effective to focus on improving the company's quarterly sales or improving the company's distributor's list for the year. These "small goals" can be monthly or quarterly targets. Clearly link these targets to a long term mission. Employees will be highly engaged knowing that their efforts are directly contributing to the company's mission. This will allow your employees to get direct feedback from management as to how close or far they are to achieving their goals. Set aside the time to tell employees what they doing right and where they need to improve on. Nothing engages an employee like the prospect of a raise or appreciation in an upcoming review, so use these sessions to motivate the employee to work harder. The review can act as a scheduled "reward system". You may even notice employees becoming more serious and dedicated to their work closer to review time. When managers offer consistent feedback, employees feel their managers support them. By building a relationship of trust and openness, the employees will feel free to discuss even their small, rare mistakes and work on them so they do not turn into bigger problems later on. Encourage growth and development by providing suggestions or have your employees come up with solutions to solve their current issues during or after their performance assessment.
Summary: Set clear, realistic goals. Have a long term mission in place and translate it into small goals. Set up regular performance assessments.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: This is a great ring size to work with, though the paper can be bigger if desired. Make sure the proportions stay the samethe paper should be twice as long as it is wide. Use a thick, colorful piece of paper for a sturdy, bright ring. Lay the piece of paper on a flat surface with the longest sides positioned horizontally. Bring the top of the piece of paper down to form a crease in the middle. Unfold the piece of paper once this is done. You're creating a hot-dog style fold in the piece of paper. With the paper unfolded and positioned horizontally again, bring the bottom long edge up to the middle fold. Flatten this section to form a crease, and then pull down the top long edge to the middle fold and form a crease here. All of the folds made so far should be parallel to one another. Without unfolding any creases, pick up the paper and turn it over so that the side facing you is smooth. Position the paper vertically and pull down the top of the paper until it reaches the bottom of the paper, forming a middle fold. Press down firmly on all of your creases. Bring each corner to the middle, creating two folded triangles that touch each other. Press down on the creases so that they're nice and flat. Only do this to the folded edge, not the opposite end where there isn't a fold. After you've formed good creases, unfold the two small triangles. Unfold the vertical fold so that the piece of paper is long and skinny, and fold in both triangles that have creases in the middle of the paper so that they disappear. After this step is done, your piece of paper will be folded in half vertically again, resembling a short pencil with a pointed tip and a flat bottom edge. The tip of the 'pencil' should be pointing left. Pull up the bottom long edge of the paper to the center, forming a crease. Do the same thing with the top long edge, folding it over so it's touching the middle. Only fold the top layer of paper, not the bottom layer at this point. Turn the paper over with the point still facing the left. Pull up the bottom long edge of the paper to the middle, creating a strong crease. Pull down the top long edge to the middle of the paper as well. Only unfold the long vertical fold so that your paper 'diamond' is in the middle of a long, skinny paper band. To make your diamond look more square, stick the flat end of a pencil inside the diamond to flatten out its top. Position the ring on your finger with the diamond facing upwards. To ensure it fits well, slide the edge of one end of the paper into the other end of the paper, tightening it as necessary. Curling the ends of the paper around a pencil can help maintain its ring shape.
Summary: Cut a piece of paper to be 5 by 10 centimetres (2.0 by 3.9in). Fold the piece of paper in half horizontally. Bring each long edge to the center fold, forming creases. Pick up the paper and turn it over before folding it in half. Fold down the corners of the new folded edge. Open the folded triangles and tuck them inside the paper. Lay the pencil-shaped paper horizontally on a flat surface. Flip the piece of paper over and fold in the other two long edges. Open the paper gently so the paper diamond is in the center. Fit the ring to your finger by connecting both ends.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: When your cat is on all four feet, hold a treat in front of its face to get its attention and slowly move it to between its ears. Many cats will follow the treat in the air and lower their rear end to get it. When your cat sits, positively reinforce its behavior by praising it and giving it the treat. If your cat's rear end doesn't quite touch the ground the first time, give it the treat anyway. Keep repeating this training and your cat can get better each time. " First, encourage your cat to move its paw by giving it a treat each time it lifts the paw off of the ground. Then, put a treat in your hand (wrapped in your fist, for instance), and wait for your cat to use its paw to try and grab it out of your hand. Give the cat a treat as a reward when it does. Repeat this many times, gradually lifting your hand higher each time until the behavior resembles giving a hi-five. Try this training your cat for this trick at is mealtimes because it will already be hungry. Call your cat's name and tap on its food bowl to get its attention. When your cat comes, praise them and give them a treat. When your cat gets used to coming when called, you can also use the command "come" for this trick. You can vary this trick by trying to train your cat to come from distances increasingly farther away, from outside to inside, etc. You can have your cat learn to touch an object like a toy or a sturdy surface that will not fall over. This trick is learned best after your cat has learned to sit. Once your cat is sitting next to the object, hold a treat near it to attract the cat. When the cat touches the object, give it a treat. Once your cat becomes interested in this trick, you can also train it to touch the object with a specific type of its body. For instance, if you want to train it to touch an object with its paw, wait to give your cat a treat until it does. Hold a treat above your cat, but not so close that it can touch it. When your cat sits up on its hind legs, and reaches for the treat with its front paws, use a command like "sit" and give it the treat. Sit in front of your cat and gently touch its paw. When it lifts the paw off the ground, grasp it in yours as though you were shaking hands. Give your cat a treat immediately afterward. Cats are capable of producing a wide range of vocal sounds (meows, chirps, trills, yowls, etc.), and they reserve most of them for communicating with humans. You can try training your cat to produce a meow or other sound on command. Just give your cat a treat when it makes the desired sound. After the cat begins to associate the treat with a reward, introduce a word like "meow" or "chirp" to create the command.
Summary:
Teach your cat to sit. Teach your cat to "hi-five. Train your cat to come when called. Train your cat to touch an object. Train your cat to sit up on two legs. Teach your cat to shake hands. Train your cat to meow on command.
