All jokes aside, **** her or love her, you are aware of who Paris Hilton is. You are aware of who she is because she keeps the media on the edge of their seat with her parents money, good looks, and non-stop antics. The media feeds into her never ending show and the public continues to watch. This creates positive re-enforcement for her behavior, so she continues to engage in more shocking activities. How does this synopsis of Paris Hilton translate into worker productivity? Read on and find out.

Paris Hilton can fly around the world, attend any party, and buy any car, ect. She can do this because she is backed by a handsome budget. As an upper level manager, you also have a budget. It may not be as robust as Ms. Hiltons, but stop wasting it on staples! If you want your workers to do more work give them an incentive. Instead of buying staples, (Yeah, I know. You need staples. But follow me.) buy some Yankees tickets, or an American Express gift card, or a gas card, or anything else someone would covet. These are items that a successful manager would use to increase productivity. Set up a contest. Keep a leader board for a given task. People are going to be anxious to win the prize. If you insert competition into any given scenario it’s going to keep your workers interest and motivation. A contest will also give them something to chat about. If you want something to stay fresh, make people talk about it.

The most successful manager in the world, Sam Walton, used to give every Wal-Mart employee a $100 bonus if theft was kept below a certain percentage each month (Sam Walton – founder and Wal-Mart and formerly the richest man in the world: estimated wealth 20 billion USD). How’s that for productivity? It’s just like the playoff bonuses athletes receive if the team makes it to certain stages of the playoffs. If you establish rewards for your employees, you will reap the benefits with higher productivity levels.

You can accomplish the same thing with smaller rewards such as gift cards or tickets to concerts or sporting events. People just want to be appreciated and compensated for their efforts.

Paris Hilton draws attention with her looks, but she keeps attention with her stunts. Giving away a gas card once is not enough to motivate an entire workforce, much as doing one act of craziness is not enough to make “Paris Hilton”. Weave in rewards as part of your business strategy. Too many times, the people who do all the grunt work are forgotten. During the day, sit down and talk with your employees, don’t just bark at them when they do something wrong. Do not do your best to get to know your workforce, GET TO KNOW YOUR WORKFORCE. If people find that you care they will put in that extra effort on your behalf. Pat Riley visits with all his players families during the on and off season. They have BBQ’s and other family outings. Along with being a great coach, those outings paid off in NBA championships throughout the 80’s along with an NBA championship in 2006 with the Miami Heat.

The point of the paper is not to show how great Paris Hilton is. It isn’t about bribing your workers either. It’s not about Pat Riley or Sam Walton. This paper is about using tactics to get closer with the people who are making you or your company’s paycheck. These people aren’t expendable. They are all you have. So start treating them that way. They’ll return the favor.

Paris Whitney Hilton (born February 17, 1981) is an American celebrity and socialite. She is an heiress to a share of the Hilton Hotel fortune, as well as to the real estate fortune of her father Richard Hilton.

Hilton is well known for her participation in The Simple Life reality series and also for 1 Night in Paris, a homemade *** video of her with then-boyfriend Rick Salomon, which leaked onto the Internet in late 2003. She has also launched a variety of careers, as a model, singer, actress, and writer.

At one point, it would have been hard to define Paris Hilton. “Career heiress” doesn’t cut it nor does “party girl” or “high-ranking socialite-cum-model-cum-actress,” and “American royalty” was arguably too dramatic a label for a woman whose true breakout role cost less to film than a night in a budget room at the neighborhood Hilton hotel. read more…

Whether she’s shopping, posing, partying or hiding from the paparazzi, Paris Hilton looks fabulous.  Her flirty and feminine dresses, her stilettos that never quit, her giant handbags—these all add to the celebrity diva-ness she exudes and we all envy.  But what really seals the deal is her fabulously dynamic Paris Hilton sunglasses collection—estimated at over a thousand.  We envy every pair of ginormous Christian Dior and Gucci shades she dons on her heart shaped face.

As one of her trademarks, Paris Hilton sunglasses often speak louder than she does.  While she says, “that’s hot,” nearly under her breath, Hilton’s sunglasses espouse a philosophy of coolness and sexiness than can only be adopted by rock stars and heiresses.  Her oversized sunglasses are reminiscent of Jackie O’Nassis, the original way-too-big-for-your-face sunglasses wearer.  These days, Hilton’s sunglasses collection is almost as famous as she is.  Some of her most sought after shades are her famous Wayfarer White Ray Ban 2140’s or that pair of Olive Green Dolce & Gabannas.  Being Paris Hilton’s New BFF is even more desirable if it means you get to borrow any one of her hundreds of pairs of sunglasses.  

If you like, you can even dress up your poochie just like Paris’s Tinkerbell with K9 Optix sunglasses for dogs.  Tinkerbell wears the pink ones with silver straps and bedazzled lenses.  Nothing less will suffice for one of the richest and most famous doggies in Hollywood’s vast kingdom of celebrity pooches.  So while you’re shopping for your own stunner shades, don’t forget to accessorize woman’s best friend, your poochie in a purse.  Nothing is more adorable than a Pomeranian in a Chanel carrier and eyewear to match.  

If you truly want to have the Paris Hilton sunglasses spirit infect you, they have to be big and they have to be designer.  Knockoffs don’t cut it.  Try her Gucci GG 2965’s or rock some Bvlgaris next time you go to Sunset strip to party all night.  True rock stars will shell out anywhere from $5000 to $65000 for a pair of the Luxuriator diamond studded eyewear designed by Franco Vahe.  Not ready to shell out $5000?  Check out sunglassesavenue.com for a long A-list of your favorite celebrities’ most prized stunner shades at prices you can manage.  From Alexander McQueens all the way to Yves Saint Laurent, sunglassesavenue.com has exactly what you’re looking for when it comes to your favorite Paris Hilton sunglasses.

There is no such thing as bad publicity for celebrities. Publicity equates to news. News equates to interest. The public is conditioned to expect bad celebrity behavior. Actually, bad celebrity behavior makes the public stop and watch with curiosity similar to witnessing a car wreck. In the last few months Paris Hilton has been a publicity car wreck.

The good news for Paris Hilton is that her image restoration experts have arrived and there is no such thing as bad celebrity publicity. Her public relations team has found the formula to salvage the heiress’s image. The formula is not really new or creative but its tried and true.

Lets briefly review the legal problems of Ms. Hilton. In September, police witnessed her car weaving down the street and Ms. Hilton failed her sobriety test. She was found guilty of reckless driving, fined and placed on probation. She was subsequently stopped twice by police officials for driving with a suspended license which led her to 45 days in jail. She spent three days in jail (according to media accounts) sobbing. She was released by the sheriff after three days and confined to her mansion with an ankle bracelet due to medical reasons.

The day after her release, the judge ordered her back to jail and she has what can only be described as an emotional breakdown in court saying this is not fair and calling for her mother while sobbing.

The next day she had an interview with Barbara Walters and tells Barbara that “God has released her” and that she previously was depressed. It sure seems that God only released her after the judge would not.

It is very interesting that time and time again celebrities and especially politicians when caught with an image problem through their own bad behavior create for themselves an immediate conversion with the help of God. (Of course this is the start of their own public relations image restoration ).

After her release from jail, Ms Hilton immediately appeared on the Larry King show for an interview about her time in jail and the lessons she has learned from the experience.

This is the work of Paris Hilton’s public relations team, This is the tried and true formula for celebrity image restoration. First talk about your new connection to God. Then talk about what you have learned from the experience. Finally, get a easy , favorable interview on Larry King.

As I said before, there is no such thing as bad publicity. Any celebrity image can be fixed. In the case of Paris Hilton, it was in the basic public image restoration handbook , Chapter titled : From God to Larry King.

Jon C asked:


Paris Hilton, born on 17th February 1981, heiress to the Hilton empire, model and co-star of hit TV show “The Simple life”:

Sex Video? Check. Blonde hair? Check. Lots of money? Check. Welcome to route one to launching a celebrity career. Paris Hilton’s famous “one night in Paris” video seems to have done little to harm her career. Is this perhaps due to the artistic night vision camera work that seems to take its influence from “Silence of the Lambs”? Or perhaps its down to the fine acting?

It is easy to stereotype Paris Hilton as a rich blonde airhead with all the personality and charm of a Skoda. Whilst Paris certainly isn’t the next Mother Teresa nor is she the next Jenna Jameson. Apart from her video Paris is famous for appearing in tv series “The Simple Life”. The premise of this show is that two rich girls learn what it is like to live with “ordinary” people whilst having their credit cards and other luxuries taken away. To be fair to Paris she doesn’t show the obnoxious arrogance that you would expect from a rich girl. She does demonstrate a certain charm and humility. In doing so she gets her audience believing she is just an ordinary girl after all. The social faux pas she makes are generally more down to naivety than malice. Although she seems harmless you get the impression that the show is just a game to her and she is playing all the time. Would Paris go back and work on a farm if she weren’t being paid to be there? Probably not. Perhaps then this is social awareness born out of financial greed.

The problem is that Paris knows that no matter what happens her fortune won’t go away she can always fall back on it. Its like swimming in the sea when you’re little and you know your dad is just a few metres away ready to save you if you falter. That safety net is ever present and removes the risk out of a lot of what Paris does. She will let herself be subjected to working on a farm but knows ultimately that show will end and she will go back to her mansion. The worst thing that could happen would be that the show gets panned. An ordinary person who makes a mistake at work risks getting fired and that affects their livelihood and their existence.

People always noted that Princess Diana was always down to earth when you spoke to her and treated you like you were her equal rather than her subject. This always annoyed me. Why shouldn’t Diana treat you with respect? You ARE just like her. She’s just a person. When your existence is so financially cushioned and the only thing people expect is for you is to be to be humble and kind its not that hard. It is harder to be kind when you don’t have the cards stacked so heavily in your favour. Having these traits when you are rich and famous might make you appear extraordinary in the world of celebrity but it does not make you an extraordinary human being. Humility and kindness are a bare minimum for being a good person what ever your background rather than special trait to be demonstrated when you are rich.

There is something quite sickening if you think about it about shows like ‘The Simple Life’. There was once a J-Lo song called ‘Jenny from the block’. If you don’t know anything about J-LO you will know that she is famed for having a big entourage and making ridiculous demands when she “sings” live. Anyhow In the song jenny from she sings ” don’t be fooled by the rocks that I got, im still im still jenny from the block, I used to have a little and now I have a lot, no matter where I go I know where I came from”. Now excuse me but a person whose diamonds probably cost the price of the average persons wage package singing about how humble she is whilst she’s lying on a on a yacht with Ben Affleck is slightly repugnant. Its like someone sipping champagne and eating caviar whilst talking about drought and famine in Africa. “Im there for you african children don’t worry..mmm this caviar is lovely”.

Ok people are famous, ok they are rich but this kind of thing seems to be like flaunting your success in peoples faces and saying on the other hand im just like you accept me! That’s the problem with things like the simple life. It’s an illusion. Money made J- Lo sing about being a girl from a Bronx rather than her apparent “humble girl next door persona”. Money put Paris Hilton on that farm not some deeper love of working class people. Credit to Paris for standing on her two feet but in many ways she is just a symptom of celebrity culture. A victim of her own background. She could have just done nothing with her life and sat on her fortune. Instead she tried to make her own money .Ironic then that by showing she was like you and me, she just get richer, securing her financial affairs so she will never have to be seen mixing with any of our working class people again! Thanks. No really.
