Forum #6: Employee Engagement Advice in One Sentence

[David Zinger]

In one sentence only, write the best employee engagement advice you would give to an organization.

[Carol Cole-Lewis]

Be open to being wrong.

[Mike Henry Sr.]

Wonderful advice!

[George Reavis]

To sustain employee engagement a leader must help others practice getting feedback from one's own daily activities to complement the feedback they receive from colleagues and supervisors.

[Jean Douglas, CMC]

Treat people with sincere courtesy and respect.

[Mario Gastaldi]

Ask them what do they think is to be done, and how it is to be done.

[Terrence Seamon]

Good one, Mario! Inviting participation, utilizing their ideas, and building a team are powerful engagement actions a Manager can take.

[Robert Morris]

I appreciate all of the observations and suggestions provided thus far. Together, they suggest (at least to me) that engagement is a matter of being...not only knowing or even doing. Obviously, knowledge is important; acting on that knowledge is also important; but being and then remaining engaged is a personal (rather than an organizational or a group) responsibility. The leader's task is to recognize, support, and reward that personal commitment. The great leaders (e.g. George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Winston Churchill) create a critical mass of those who are engaged, who make the necessary personal commitment.

[Varadarajan]

For a Great Organizational Performance , encourage the heart and energize the people process

[Stephen A. McPherson]

Look after your people: physically, emotionally and spiritually; and they will look after you.

[Steve Maffei]

True employee engagement occurs one person at a time!

[Mike Healy]

Give more than you take. It will come back to you

[Varadarajan]

Loved the message and the way you expressed it !!! Very pithy,Practically philosophical..

In a world, where you are quick to 'get and forget ' , your One Sentence will take some real 'internal shift'. to practise..
And when that happens , very very likely Engagement will happen too.. Top class contribution Mike
