Ever wonder how you attract the attention of the big decision makers in the Corporate world? Put a dish of candy on your desk - chocolate, peppermints, sourballs - enough variety to please everyone.
The candy dish is the alternate "watercooler". It is amazing what you learn while a higher up is munching on a Hershey bar loaded with nuts, totally immersed in the power of chocolate.
The candy dish also works for getting attention and encouraging people performance. For example, you can't get a person to a meeting? Bribe them with candy. Take note of what candy is his/her favorite and make sure to stock your jar with it. You'll find it won't be so hard to get them to attend the next meeting. Of course, adding a thank you for attending is helpful too!
I know you're probably saying, "Feed them." This is also true, but candy gives you a better ROI (return on investment).
