I agree with Mr. Einstein. Most incivility exists because it is tolerated. I appreciate the extra info on #3. Thanks Robert.

I don't like to make counter offers. A counter offer basically says, "I've been under paying you all this time, but now that you are threatening to leave, I'll start paying you what you're worth." How good can the employee feel about that? Not a g...

Agnes, In my experience the reason most employee surveys are of little value is that nothing is done with the results. Sometimes select information is shared. Sometimes action plans are even put together. However, in the majority of cases, the wor...

Nice post Brian. The "experts" don't always know what they are doing, do they? A lot of times they just rely on other "experts." The selection criteria are incredibly subjective. It can be tough for the "irrelevant" to overcome the false hype, but...

People change if there is enough impetus to do so. Most corporate change initiatives fail because of lack of communication and lack of commitment. Management is unable to articulate the value and importance of the change and the benefits to the in...

Lois, The ability to inspire trust after the RIFs depends greatly on whether there was trust before the layoffs. It also depends on how the layoffs were handled. Were the right people kept? Were the people that were let go given decent severance? ...

Welcome Nick! Nice to put a face to your name after reading your book, Lead Well and Prosper. (Now that I think of it, it might have your picture in it but I lent it out to a colleague so don't remember right now). Anyway, great to see you join the network here!

Hi Nick - Glad to see you joined the EEN. From reading your book Lead Well And Prosper I know you'll have great things to add to the discussions here. Here are a few groups you might be interested in:

Employee Engagement Writers
This group is for people who write blogs, books, or other resources on employee engagement.

Engaging Books
This group is for anyone who want to talk about books on engagement, work, leadership or management. You can recommend a book, ask others about a book, or join in a discussion about a book.

And of course there are many discussions and other groups you might be interested in . Take your time, settle in and get your engaging on ;)

Take care Nick!

Some excellent responses already to your great question Maggie. The cynical workers present a great opportunity to make an organisation a greater place to work. Let's face it, they're cynical for a reason and if you can get truly under the skin of...

I would stop talking to employees and start listening to them. Find out what they want and how they want it. Find out how they think would be the best way to get it and help them to get it. They will have concerns, suggestions, complaints, and que...

Jason, Thanks. I agree that feeling in control is big. Also think the mistake with executive communications comes down to " It's not what you say, it's what people hear." The traditional "messaging" often fails on the latter. Lois

Nothing like a 150 page report to engage people, so we tried to make it a bit easier to engage with. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XoUm9xFpWGU Let me know what you think. Jason

Well said, Susan. It all starts with listening, really listening 100% without the distraction of figuring out a response while the other person is talking. For some short articles on this process take a look at http://www.bensimonton.com/articles...
