Owner experience in creating exec comp plan for day-to-day operator?

by a searcher from Hampden-Sydney College

I own a commercial landscaping business, and I'm looking to create an incentive plan for my long-term managers at the company.  I'm not interested in selling, so traditional equity isn't a good option for us.  We've tried some things in the past that were overly complicated and didn't work well for us.  Has anyone tried an executive compensation plan that has worked well for both the owner(s) and the manager(s)?
