though published earlier, I found it quite relevant relating innovation and engagement
Remember that employees are human first; seek to build what matters the most to humans - personal relationships.
Communicating "what" is not enough. Explain the "why" behind everything.
Thanks Ben. Look forward to checking out these articles.
