Rob Fox replied to Dr. William Seidman's discussion What really is the difference between and “self-directed neuroplasticity” and brainwashing?"William,
Fascinating work.
I sense that ever growing the capacity to inspire internal self directed change (inside out change) is key to discovering enduring engagement. It is a sad, for me, fact that Western cultural mores tend to…"
Rob Fox replied to Samantha Lizars's discussion Great Engagement Exercises"Hi,
I have just re-read this, and thought that if people would like a free copy of a sample pack of cards containing ideas and exercises that help people engage on engagement, then I am most willing to post a copy out. I will, for cost…"
Rob Fox replied to Dr. William Seidman's discussion What really is the difference between and “self-directed neuroplasticity” and brainwashing?"William,
This dicotomy is, as, of course, you are acutely aware, central to thinking about employee engagement.
I guess the difference lies in free will.
Brainwashing serves to constrain. We remember to forget.

Rob Fox replied to Paul Marciano's discussion How Do We Engage a Virtual Workforce?"Paul,
A tough one this: we face this issue sometimes.
It seems to me that the first step is to find the "sticky issue." This is to say the issue that does and can glue people together from an engagement perspective. Often this, as I am…"

Vijay Kumar Shrotryia said… - Good to read your views on Happiness. Happiness at work and family has been surveyed and studied a lot in the last 20-25 years in the name of Life Satisfaction (or Subjective Well-being) and Job Satisfaction (related to Engagement as well). However most of these works have been from the developed world. Scandavian countries do much better in the count of happiness as compared to other group of countries. Further New Economic Foundation at London is doing remarkable good job on valuing Well-Being.
There is one exception to the type of nations prioritising on the study of happiness - a tiny nation called 'Bhutan', which is sandwiched between two most populous nations of the world, India and China. This nation has been talking and practicing the development philosophy of Gross National Happiness and it has really done wonders for the proud citizens of the country. Having worked there for 9 years, I have reasons to believe that this testimony can be replicated well by the organizations (I mean both profit making as well as non-profit ones) of people all around the places. Once organizations start focusing on Happiness, I am sure the stakeholders would derive a better sense of belonging and engagement with such organisations...
