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.

I've been interested in finding specific and actionable "tools" that can help an organization to better engage employees. At this point, I'm defining a tool as an ongoing process that provides structure, feedback and visible results.
I'd like to learn more about the tools your developing and possibly share with you the progress I've made in this area.
Dan
Thanks for the phone conversation! I'm very impressed with the toolkits you are rolling out at Yahoo. I'm sure they will have the intended effect. Once you have some breathing room, I hope you will share with us some "snapshots" from your engagement journey.
Terry
I too am intrigued by the manager toolkits you are developing. Please join the Manager Tools group and share what you are doing and learning.
Terry
Looking forward to reading great things from you!
I'm very(!) curious about the types of "toolkits and programs" you've developed. Content, format, process/procedure...all that interests me.
No blog? You must have a blog! I'm building a Blogs Not to Miss list to post on my Culture to Engage. I'd hate not to include yours.
