pioneering work in making variable pay and incentives commonplace
components of high performance and our development of total rewards have

Guru
Praise for SZA Consultants
 In The Guru Guide: The Best
Ideas of the Top Management Thinkers, by Joseph and Jimmie Boyett (Boyett
& Associates), John Wiley & Sons, Inc., the top
management thinkers were selected in categories ranging from
"leadership" to "managing change." Jay Schuster and
Pat Zingheim were selected as "motivation and pay gurus" based
on criteria that included "...those who had written significant books
or articles in the last five years." Joseph and Jimmie Boyett further
said, "Why did we select Schuster and Zingheim as pay gurus? In our
opinion, no two gurus better articulate the emerging consensus on pay
policies and practices that are essential for the new knowledge-based,
flexible, and federated organization." Dr. Boyett went on to say,
"We believe their work is excellent and worthwhile."
Others included in the Guide are Ed Lawler, Warren Bennis, Peter
Drucker, Stephen Covey, Gary Hamel, C.I. Prahalad, and Peter Senge.
The Guru Guide uses some of the material from The
New Pay and the articles available to you on SZA's Website to
suggest how your company can select and adopt practices that help better
manage and motivate your workforce. The Boyetts' book is available
directly from John
Wiley & Sons, Inc. or through Amazon.com.
We would value hearing your views of this book.

“Pay For Performance Works: The United States Postal
Service Presents a Powerful Business Case.”
|
"Pay
For Performance Works: The United States Postal Service
Presents a Powerful Business Case" published in WorldatWork Journal (First
Quarter 2006) won an Honorable Mention award announced by Bob King,
Editor of WorldatWork Journal, on May 8, 2007. The article
also appears in our book, High-Performance Pay: Fast Forward
to Business Success. Co-author Paul Weatherhead is Pay
Program Manager at the USPS.
The
USPS has reached an important milestone—10
years of a fully integrated and successful market-based and
performance-driven pay strategy for 75,000 white-collar employees,
ranging from supervisors to postmasters to executives and officers.
The Postal Service pay-for-performance experience can serve as a
role model not only for the federal government but also for state
and local governments, nonprofits and private-sector companies. This
paper presents proof that pay for performance works, and shows how
the Postal Service experience stacks up with success criteria
applicable to any organization wishing to take on the daunting task
of paying people right.

“Revisiting Effective Incentive Design”
|
"Revisiting
Effective Incentive Design: Still the Major ROI Reward
Opportunity" published in WorldatWork Journal (First
Quarter 2005) won one of three top awards announced by Bob King,
Editor of WorldatWork Journal, on May 7, 2006. The article
also appears in our book, High-Performance Pay: Fast
Forward to Business Success, and won Honorable Mention.
"Revisiting
Effective Incentive Design" picks up where our book, The New
Pay, left off on incentive design by suggesting incentives
remain the best investment an organization can make in the move to
high performance. The article charts a course for performance
improvement whether the organization is experiencing poor
performance, marginally acceptable performance, or even acceptable
performance. It poses seven design principles that best practice
suggests are the ingredients that provide the “accelerator
pedal” to meaningful and lasting journeys to excellent business
results.
