Mike:
I agree with your epiphany and "train of thought" at the Atwerpen Centraal Station.
Whether it is work or play, we choose to be fully focused or engaged on what we are doing...or not. Life itself, then, is totally left to one's own discretio…
David:
I have long been "motivated" by Emile Coue's quote, "Every day, in every way, I'm getting better and better".
So I am OK with the question. I think the question is intended to help us be intropsective and intrinsically motivated to move for…
Agreed, Ray.
Which is probably why I enjoyed Jon Katzenbach's book on Why Pride Matters More Than Money (New York, New York: Crown Business, 2003).
This attitude development of pride and connecting the dot between and employee's contributions and…
Interesting and diverse perspectives on happiness.
I tend to see happiness as being more external in nature and joy as more internal.
Thoughts?

OK Michael:
Now you are going to make me look beyond the performance of a great movie to the real message being said. Great perspective.
First, I strongly agree. Connecting is the foremost act we should be making in the workplace.
When I talk abo…
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…
Discover why you are engaged first and then go and help others find their own raison d'être - or reason for being - and you will have the source for engaged employees. - Roy Saunderson

Doing Recognition Events the Right Way - Lessons Learned from Wells Fargo
Wells Fargo Recognition Events Cancelled
Wells Fargo & Company recently cancelled a recognition event and conference, and all future events, after the furor of the public and media attention since they had previously received TARP bailout monies.
To get a little more context you can read an opinion editorial I wrote in today's National Post

Steven Green said… - Hey Roy,
I'll try to get some good content up if I can get enought time away from your Rideau partners ;-) We've been spending a lot of time together on the road trying to change the world. Seems like our message is taking root.
I hope to be out in MTL this fall to visit with everyone.
Be well,
Steven

- Hi Roy,
Yes, too long. I will be at the show in Chicago and hopefully we can connect then. Picture was on the boat going out the the Great Barrier Reef. Brings back fond memories of a great vacation.
Looking forward to working the site.

Anja Schuetz said… - Hi Roy,
good reply to my post and well done for sticking with the pizza metaphor :) It inspired me to take that metaphor even further, let's see!
It would have been lovely to be introduced in Naples! I didn't attend the conference, only the seminars. I thought I could sneak in and catch your presentation, but I was too late on Wednesday...
Maybe your travels take you to Holland some time, then we can have pizza together!
All the best,
Anja :)

- Roy,
I read your article today in Industry Week. It was very well done.
I was not aware of your book -I love the cover and the title. It is interesting that you list it in your profile but the image really catches the readers attention.
I encourage you to put an image of the book up on your page here for people to see. If you need help with this let me know. If you are looking for reviews of the book let me know and I would certainly consider reviewing it.

I would contend never is too soon.
If you understand what engagement is and how to achieve it, then you know what an engaged employee sounds like and acts like as compared to one who is somewhat engaged or disengaged. Surveys turn people off while…
Look beyond generic engagement tools: focus on personal drivers from employees, group them accordingly and align engagement tools.
The real challenge to engage employees is to gain trust by giving them autonomy to shape their own jobs to their own wishes, interests and strengths but always aligned with an open and transparant organisational vision and strategy.
Before you start engaging an employee, know him and respect him as an individual first and engagement will follow.
Listen! Zip your mouth. Don't interrupt them when they are opening up to you and expressing there feelings. Remember, its about them not you!
Engagement is to be seen not as an activity but that is the only way the society works.
The management equivalent of ‘Air’ is to practice transparency with team members by managers.
Dr. Jose M F, India, Bangalore
The most important priority for leaders is to cultivate, appreciate, and leverage the vast untapped potential of every employee in their organizations.
If you focus on engagement, productivity will follow. If you focus on productivity, you may not get it.
To begin engagement, sit down with each employee for 40-60 minutes, privately, quietly, and confidentially, and get to know them better -- thei…
