Loneliness of the naked CEO
It’s reputed in the UK that the queen thinks the world smells of fresh paint. Then surely CEO land is populated by a nodding, grinning, fresh-faced and wide-eyed populace. Something is rotten in the state methinks!
If everyone he meets on his weekly walk-about admires his new clothes, it’s no wonder that loneliness and paranoia are key characteristics of new entrants to the role and a despotic decision making style the behavioural fall-back. How can you be expected… Continue

Nice to see you back here. It motivated me to pull out the interview from March of last year and read your writing on brand engagement. I have created a new model for engagement where personal engagement and organizational or brand engagement are two key dimensions. The Canadian prairies are chugging along very well but it seems lots of other places are quite hard hit. I am off to Barcelona in 3 weeks and looking forward to hearing more firsthand accounts of the European situation.

One other point, I came across an employee engagement job in the UK. You might want to pass on to someone you know who might be interested. Click her for details.

I sent your name to Julien Salvi who is conducting an Employee Engagement Conference in Barcelona in late April. I thought he might be interested in your work.

Thanks for saying Hello. Its great to get such a warm welcome and I look forward to sharing ideas with you on this network.
Best wishes,

Sorry, haven't come across an Anita Kerrigar. Had a quick look on Google/Facebook/LinkedIn without any luck either.

Thanks for asking, not bad actually! I am blessed in that I come from a background of event production, so I can deliver pure EE projects but also get a lot of work from those looking for someone to head an EE project which needs to bring everyone together at an event to deliver its purpose.
How are things with you?
You're right of course that these are hard times for discretionary spend and we'd be foolish not to bear that in mind. On the other hand though, I think it could be argued that for those companies that wish to come out the other side of a recession, EE is not a discretionary measure! Big companies making lots of redundancies need to be sure they have the right employees left in place - and working in the right way if they want to grow stronger.

I am so pleased to see how involved you are in the Employee Engagement Network. I appreciate your contributions and input very much and you certainly make a difference on this network.
