Be congruent and transparent, say what you mean and do what you say.
I couldn't agree more, and I like your examples. I'd be curious to hear some thoughts, or see some data, on the connection between resilience and trust?!
In fact a few of those close to me have indeed lost jobs recently. I myself was laid off back when the tech bubble burst. I agree with your input Terrence, and it is similar advice to what I gave to those who have lost jobs recently. I can't over em…

Engaging Gen Y in the Workplace!
Yesterday I facilitated a call for over 30 colleagues, the topic was Gen Y in the work place. Despite the fact that Gen Y is one of the fastest growing generations in the workforce, many organizations are still struggling with how to recruit, engage, and retain Gen Y employees. Many interesting learning's came from the cross generational discussions on this call, and I'm happy to share with anyone who has interest offline. A key learning for me, as a Gen Yer myself, was the importance of communi… Continue

- Hi Scott,
Hope you are well! I am considering the AU/NTL Master's program and my attempts to obtain program graduate names from AU has proved futile. I see that you own the alumni group on Linkedin. com and would like to see if you have the time to speak with me about your experience with the AU/NTL program. I am comparing that program with another master's program and a certificate program, all from excellent DC universities. MAybe you have someone else you think would be able to spare a few minutes if you do not? Your work is extremely enlightening and makes me eager to begin my work in the field! I'm in Arlington with a very flexible schedule at the moment. Thanks so much in advance for considering my request. Best, Maura

best wishes

Many organizations have seen their voluntary turnover numbers greatly decline during the past 18months (our recessionary window). However, there are two great articles that are indicating that the turnover wave is coming. Those organizations with di…
You must make the choice to be engaged with your employees every day...for engagement is a decision before it is an action.
Recognize that employee engagement is not a fluffy extra but the fundamental way you will get work done with others through conversation, co-creation, community, mutuality, and other inclusive approaches to achieve results that matter to organizatio…
Ah, the script for a boss! That is easy, but a long way from the traditional one.
First, I suggest the boss do a quick read of Douglas McGregor's "The Human Side of Enterprise" to gain an understanding of the theory behind X and Y. Then commit the…

Great stuff. Particularly like the piece about attacking "internal friction".
I still think the macro issues, namely around what kind of relationships does the organisation wish to have with specific groups/classes of employees need to be c…
My view on this is that where you treat employee engagement like a ‘big bang’ corporate change programme it will always carry a significant risk of turning into an ‘organisational Vietnam’. Don’t go to war in the first place!
Do it by taking lots a…
