I saw the video on Patti Digh's 37 days site and thought it would make a nice video for a 5 minute period of disengagement before engaging in new work.

Thanks for the welcome! A couple of the strongest links between culture, leadership development and accountability includes the involvement of leaders in setting the improvement targets, educating them in how to engage employees in the giving and receiving of feedback during improvement initiatives, and then measuring tangible results for those improvement initiatives. I would love to hear from your experiences with this topic.

as to your question well I am guessing everyone has a lot on their mind right now but how about this one. The recession is going to end and then all those decent employees are going to be snapped up by business. When do i start that process without it crippling my cash flow and profitability?
If leaders set out the mission, vision, and values for their employees to follow, but do not adhere to this themselves, employees will see through the façade. By recognizing the skills, enthusiasm, energy, and contributions of employees where ever they sit in the organization, the organization will flourish.
How achievable do you think a business leader would see the 4 areas of focus outlined in the report. The biggest for me is the last point about acting in a consistent way with stated culture??
Have a great weekend.
My experience of Engagement so far suggests it is set to become an increasingly vital component within the business landscape. More and more we will find employers using engagement policies to bolster and support their Human Capital efforts and bridge gaps between themselves and their employee community.
This is of course not true of all companies and my experience tells me, and recent conversations support the view that the topic of engagement can be seen as something of a "dark art" or even worse a poor relation of certain recruitment formulae. Neither are true of course, I therefore propose my biggest challenge is that of promoting the benefits of engagement, onboarding and retention as valid, bona fide aspect of improving the way a business functions. I will look to report back my findings for the benefit of the community on here as I embark on the journey!
Have you seen the David MacLeod report? There is a 3 min video on you tube. Not sure what if anything is likely to happen with this but sounds like this community should become involved.
Best wishes
Jason
