Alan,
My ecourse contributions are a "moving feast" at the moment so I just wanted to clarify your topic area as some of my other contributors have changed their submissions! Don't you love it when people change their mind!
So what I need help w...
Paul,
Thanks for your response. You are not too late to contribute. However, I already have Generation X covered off but on checking your website I thought your article on "5 must haves of meaningful work" would be great for my other ecourse on E...
Karen, I'm likely late to the table on this. I co-authored a paper on values segmentation for Generation X that might be helpful. It's on the Resources page at my website (www.paulfairlieconsulting.com). Yes, it's older (1996) but those values 'tr...

In this group we will look at how we foster, enhance, and extend our own personal engagement in work.
Tim,
You and I definitely think alike on this issue. I believe that the way to avoid one size fits all is FOCUS . . . flexbility, open communciation, creativity, understanding and using everyone's strengths.
Why is it that left brained types have to put numbers on everything. Next they will invent a formula for working out whether you are in love!
Seems to me that people who are highly engaged to their work but find it difficult to be engaged by the organisation end up self employed. It's the nature of the work that excites them, not the politics of organisational culture particularly if th...
Good thoughts, Karen.
I like your "conversations that engage." When you look up the origins of the word conversation, you find:
- "act of living with"
- "to live with, keep company with"
- "turn about with"
- "having dealings with others"
- "manne...
Visible leadership is cool, trouble is fear has a tendency to drop its heavy hand on the shoulder of the stressed senior exec and whisper "you don't want to go out there and actually talk to your people do you? They might not like you? They might ...

An engaging look at some words of wisdom. Which statements do you believe fits best for employee engagement?
Excellent - thanks Heather!!
I summarized some high-level thought leadership from firms such as DDI, McKinsey, Towers Perrin, and Hewitt in my latest blog post. These are all papers from the last several months discussing engagement: bit.ly/3a4uft
I know that Towers Perrin a...
Thanks a lot for your help !
I actually did have a look on Gallup's 12 Questions, the only worry is that it measures more the enablers of employee engagement than employee engagement itself. I have however grouped the items into themes, and only o...
