Employee Engagement: Keep Plugging Away.
Rocco Mediate is a very endearing golfer who has not won since 2002.
He just kept working and had a magical tournament this weekend at Fry.com as he holed out for an eagle every day of the tournament.
Can you stay the course and keep an upbeat personality even when result are not occurring how you hoped? Don’t make your employee engagement contingent upon results and savor the moments when they occur. You just never know what may happen when you don’t get discouraged and you keep your eye on the prize.

My guess is that he is golfing because he loves it- not for the prize. It is far easier when you love what you are doing- the rewards, accolades & raises are just a “perk” of the job. If you truly love what you do- you will do it for the sheer enjoyment of it- and nothing else.
Good point about the love of the game.
