I stay engaged by keeping two concepts front and center. 1) My attitude, actions and accomplishments all contribute to my personal brand. 2) I want to ensure that my employer receives exceptional return on their investment in me. I also make it a point to always be watching for my next opportunity to make positive impacts even if it has to be put on a waiting list due to other priorities.

Zane, you said working on what's important is important to stay engaged. I agree. However, I find that I can work on what's important in a way that there's little engagement--I may just be putting in my time. Once you've chosen an important task, how do you increase your engagement in that task?

Hi
For me personal engagement is all about being curious.I am very curious about things and people around me.I am curious becuase I exist.Yes, I feel being personally engaged is living your life the way it is meant to be.

I stay engaged by working on what's important. Importance comes from an ascending set of priorities. And I stay engaged with balance. If I'm not enthusiastic about what I'm doing, if I can't find the enthusiasm and I've tried all the little steps to find it...I stop. I resume when the excitement resumes.

Some excellent responses already to your great question Maggie. The cynical workers present a great opportunity to make an organisation a greater place to work. Let's face it, they're cynical for a reason and if you can get truly under the skin of...

I would stop talking to employees and start listening to them. Find out what they want and how they want it. Find out how they think would be the best way to get it and help them to get it. They will have concerns, suggestions, complaints, and que...

Jason, Thanks. I agree that feeling in control is big. Also think the mistake with executive communications comes down to " It's not what you say, it's what people hear." The traditional "messaging" often fails on the latter. Lois

Nothing like a 150 page report to engage people, so we tried to make it a bit easier to engage with. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XoUm9xFpWGU Let me know what you think. Jason

Hi Lois, my last organisation did some work around 'fair process'. They had some wonderful case studies around this sort of issue. They had three key elements which I though summed up nicely what could be done. Engage with everyone affected by the...

Well said, Susan. It all starts with listening, really listening 100% without the distraction of figuring out a response while the other person is talking. For some short articles on this process take a look at http://www.bensimonton.com/articles...
