Who are you?: I Work with at risk youth and I am constantly looking for new ways to engage my employees and increase morale in the work place. Working with at risk youth can be very challenging and the staff often become cynical and disengaged. Giving the staff the opportunity to have meaningful interactions and responsibilities can make all the difference and can be the ingredient that leads them to make the diference. Employee engagement is vital in my field of work.

What is your interest or involvement in employee engagement?: Helping others to become leaders for at risk youth

All people have talent. Some people have artistic ability, others have leadership qualities, and others may have athletic ability. Some people are talented cooks and others have strong business minds. Some peoples talent may be that they are very strong willed and persistent. The fact is, all people have some talent. Some people struggle to realize their talents and abilities, but they do have them. A trait of successful people is that they are able to recognize their talents. Once they recogniz… Continue

I think this would be a good real "case" study for the network. Yes I would recommend a forum on it. Lay out a few details and then ask people what would they do, resources they would use, things to watch out for. There are a plethora of knowledgeable people will lots to offer. If you are game I will feature this in next weeks email notice and on the top of the home page.

I have not really figured out how to get fully engaed (no pun intended) with this site. I guess the big thing is to just get started. That seems to be the best prescription in most endeavors. I really like the Slacker Manager Certificate. I have it front and center on my desk at work. Everyone that comes into my office has to look at it and creates a discussion. I am doing some things at work to get our employees more fully engaged and should generate some dialogue. I am looking forward to getting started

I am glad you are a Golden Slacker. I have been reading more of your posts and ideas today. There is so much more to you than meets the eye. I am glad you are part of this network and I hope you find a meaningful way to engage.

It is a pleasure to have you join this group. I worked with at risk youth for about 5 years. For me, the single biggest factor that kept me engaged was strong ties with the other staff. I had a very strong tie with one other staff and I think as a pair we strengthened each other. Of course, we also had a terrific sense of humor and made up youth reports, joked about tough time, and became co-presidents of the Monday Night Drinking Club after working 4 to midnight shifts.
I am glad you are here.
David

Cultivating trust or being ripped off - a leadership dilemma?

ok, this is intentionally a bit provocative: Gallup research has shown that the four most commonly mentioned words of why people follow leaders are Trust, Compassion, Stability and Hope. But it seems to be that there is a fine line between... - ...

Not been around lately, but always willing to join the conversation. Net working is an ancient activity when you think about it. What technology offers us -- is the ability to carry out our intentions. Someone smarter then me, taught me that. One...

Hi, Craig-- What do you play? There's a Celtic music session on Monday nights at Fiddler's Hearth, in South Bend. If you're ever in north-central Indiana on a Monday night, it's a good place to be. It runs from about 8-12 PM. Fr. Jim
