Treat your people like an asset on the balance sheet rather than an expense on the income statement.
Hi Jean,
An interersting topic and I'm not sure I have resources I can refer you to, but I thought I'd pass on an idea.
I am very much involved with a variety of appreciative processes in an effort to assist my clients in engaging their people. One…

- Bill,
Welcome to the Manager Tools group!
I like your line "I am passionately and enthusiastically committed to valuing people rather than evaluating performance."
I hope to learn more about your practice in this regard

- Hi Bill:
In some ways there is a lot of complexity here. You can comment on a blog or forum. You can watch a video. You can reach out and comment on another members site. You can post your own blog or create a forum topic.
The options are based on what you want to get and contribute here. I would love you to let us know more about your appreciative alternatives and how that impacts engagement.

Rath book is his latest: Strengths Based Leadership. Not a lot of new but a good title.

- Hi Bill:
I have been quite involved in strength based leadership and I think it fits very well with employee engagement. The appreciative inquiry process is also a nice fit. Did you read Tom Rath's latest book. I wasn't over impressed with it but I appreciate any movement towards more of a strength based focus. I think Marcus Buckingham really uses the word strengths for those activities that engage you.
Look forward to hearing from you and always nice to have another Canadian join our network.

As a consultant, I often have the privilege of acting as my client’s right hand or lending a listening ear for what’s going on in their business. I am not a certified coach, but years of being a performance improvement specialist has taught me much…
Appreciate the question--but what if you consider that there is more than one type of "true" engagement, and that different types of engagement may involve more or less spiritual, intellectual or participatory involvement?
Create and support one language for your employees by clearly communicating the mission, values, and team agreements of your organization.
Say hello and ask them how their day is going.
Men get engaged when you acknowledge what they do, and women become engaged when you acknowledge who they are.

I appreciated the statement: "an invisible grandfather clause." Staying power and growth not just sticking around because of the pension. Well said.

Finding a candidate with some staying power is such an awesome thing. There are a lot of candidates out there who are willing to stick with a good employer, and there are others who are just looking to build their resume.
Though you may find candid…
