Help your group leaders to involve everyone with heart and mind by leading them in asking the critical questions for "How are we doing?" so that feedback is provided by daily activities.
It was Dr. C that provided the 'AHA' moment to understand that what separates an engaged employee from one who is not is the learned ability to get daily feedback from the activity itself !!!
i found dan's talk - or rather "case presentation" - rather ironical and intriguing..his revelation of what incentivising does in actual fact was thought provoking...in my little experience, i hv found participative engagement reaps in better team...
For Daniel Pink fans I recently discovered he did a two-part interview series with Oprah Winfrey, not for her tv show but for her 'Soul Series' program on satellite radio. Using the following link you can either listen or watch the interviews - ht...
Yes, yes, yes. A clear sign of (hopefully) a new awakening...
Absolutely LOVED it! Huge fan of Dan Pink! When will our organizations awaken from their archaic comas?!
Profile Information
- Who are you?
- For the past decade I have been researching employee engagement and developing a 'recipe' for building engagement for everyone on the front lines of daily operations. This is a five step process, set of actions, based on a proven best practice which I experienced that is over a half century old.
After a 30+ year career in the Hospitality industry, my goal is to help those in the trenches discover the missing-link for engaging hearts and minds. These are actions to lead feedback from ones own daily activities and not simply only feedback from colleagues and supervisors. Re-asking the questions for "How are we doing?" which disappeared after the dramatic hierarchical changes in most industries after WWII.

Presentation - "How Frontline Leaders can Engage Everyone Everyday"
Understanding what separates an engaged person from one who is not. This helps group/team leaders, who are often themselves engaged, to better understand their own engagement and thus help others experience this same satisfaction. The energy from engaging others and the satisfaction of being re-engaged by those same persons through their gratitude for the benefits provided. Also the passion that comes from having your heart and mind in what you are doing and a focus on the daily activities thems… Continue

Great word ownership, Kurt.
Without a strong sense of ownership by the employee we don't get their full engagement, their complete commitment to the work.

Remember, recognition is free. It's not material. It's a communication tool. I agree with Ben that employees need a voice and a safe place to use it. They also want some ownership in the processes and acknowledgment that the tasks they perform mea...
Recognition is important, but possibly not in the way you think. Rewards have negative effects down the road no matter how good they look. On this subject, read Alfie Kohn's "Punished by Rewards".

I think recognising your staff becomes all the more important in today's climate of budget cuts, pressures and downsizing. We all want to feel valued, both as employees and human beings, and to have someone else say 'thank you, your continued supp...

Angela,
I think recognition is always essential but we have to look at the deeper reason why. Reward and recognition confirms value. Every human being wants to know, "Does my life matter?" This is the questions we help answer when we reward and re...
Be real, don't use jargon, and be honest. If something is going to hurt people would rather be prepared!
