Who’s a better worker, a happy worker or a fearful one?

Machiavelli as applied to business? “It’s better to be loved than to be feared. But if one cannot be loved, then it is better to be feared and not loved than not loved and not feared.”

TBH, I just don’t buy that the “our workers are our best assest” theory is universal. There may well be some, if not many, businesses who believe that, but I’ve seen first hand that there are others who treat their workers like crap.
