For example, a manager can only be a good manager if the people under his or her supervision are also good in doing their jobs. In order to retain this productivity, the manager will reward his or her staff not in limited to monetary values but also by recognizing their contribution to the success of the manager's performance. 

Once their contributions are duly noted and appreciated, the staff will be driven to do more and become more productive resulting to a positive feedback on the manager and the team as a whole.
