By Kevin Starr The other day, I read an excellent article by two social entrepreneurs who shut down their family planning project in Ghana when they realized it wasnt working and never would. How and why they pulled the plug makes for fascinating reading, but what really struck me was their take on why it is so rare for ineffective NGOs to go out of business: In the nonprofit world, organizations are accountable to their donors, not their beneficiaries.

Employee recognition has often been deemed a "feel-good" initiative, tied closely to rewards. While we understand its importance, we tend to associate recognition with intangible outcomes like engagement and sentiment, rather than direct impacts on retention and high performance.
