I really truly apprciate the efforts put in by my team week in and week out. Without them I am nothing!
I put a slide deck together on this topic. It's here if you want it. It also refers to another slide deck by a group called Linked2In where they basically asked the leadership v management question at linked in and then collated answers. It's intere…
I am willing to coach you through this, but we will need more than one way communication such as on this forum. If you are interested, give me a call at 813-634-4003. There won't be any charges. If you learn a lot and want to pay later, you can do s…
Somewhere along the way, I learned that there are only two foundational emotions that people react from --- fear and love. When we have dysfunctional people who contribute to a dysfunctional team, the real issue probably lies within a fear that they…
As best as I can I have been hands off for my project team. I've provided strategic goals (at least strategic for our context) and a general process to follow. I've also hired a few people into the team, but most of them weer there when I got here.…
What's the org culture? What is he profile of the hiring manager?
It's a pretty contextual thing really, isn't it.

- Hi Craig,
Love the pic. Is that the size of the fish?

Raven said… - Hello Craig - Welcome to the employee engagement network! I'm glad you joined. The EEN is a pretty active community - it was just created earlier this year by host David Zinger and already boasts over 330 members. Some PMs you might want to connect with include Bas De Baar (Project Shrink, of course!), Rich Maltzman (Scope Crepe), author Johanna Rothman (managing product development, hiring technical people), Jerry Manas from PMThink! (author of "Managing The Gray Areas"), Eric Brown (ericbrown.com), just to mention a few.
Note you can also get your RSS feed added to the network's feed mix by emailing Zinger:
Email David at dzinger@shaw.ca.
Regards,
Raven

Do you ever wonder how past leaders could have missed what seems so obvious in hindsight? Sadly, most leaders live in an environment that makes them vulnerable to managerial failure. The problem lies in a little-recognized reality of leadership: iso…
Dear Ray,
Your concern is well founded. Employees look forward to surveys like they do a visit to the dentist! The Horsepower Survey, however, is an employee-focused survey to measure how rewarded employees feel about their work. It consists of sev…
Mike,
I will make mention of this new group in the next newsletter. Thank you for starting this and I wish you well and all European members the best with this focus.

Jason:
Good points about trust and aligning the strategic engagement with employee engagement. We need results for all.
I am concerned you will lose readers due to lack of formatting on this post. I encourage you to ensure that you format your pos…
Thanks for sharing this information, Roy.
When I was Research Director at The Loyalty Institute, we found that the #1 driver of employee commitment was an organization's efforts to build a sense of spirit and pride. This was true in the US as well…
As a survey consultant I guess that I should like the idea of conducting monthly surveys, but I am concerned that employees may feel that they are being "over surveyed."
There are options, of course. An organization might randomly assign each emplo…
This is a great read, a great story. I smiled the whole time as I read this. If this conversation is possible in your organization, then I'd say your leadership is trusted and transparent. Thanks for this story.
I won't be wishing you "Season's Greetings" or "Happy Holidays" this December. These secular, generic salutations are popular in corporate America because they are not specific to any one religion or belief system. The business world, like America's…
Hello Paul:
"if you want to improve productivity and reduce costs, you need to
tap into human nature’s pleasure-fueled engine."
I could not agree more but if we wait until after we hire someone we have waited too long.
