The Leader as Facilitator
The days of command style leadership are long gone, yet surprisingly many leaders still use this style of leadership, especially when times are tough and organizations need to stay lean.
Of course every style of leadership is appropriate according to the situation, but some people do not know how to balance all styles of leadership for the person and situation.
The best style of leadership is participative leadership as this is what drives autonomous teamwork in an organization. Engaged autono… Continue

Dear Ray,
Your concern is well founded. Employees look forward to surveys like they do a visit to the dentist! The Horsepower Survey, however, is an employee-focused survey to measure how rewarded employees feel about their work. It consists of sev…
Mike,
I will make mention of this new group in the next newsletter. Thank you for starting this and I wish you well and all European members the best with this focus.

Jason:
Good points about trust and aligning the strategic engagement with employee engagement. We need results for all.
I am concerned you will lose readers due to lack of formatting on this post. I encourage you to ensure that you format your pos…
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…
As a survey consultant I guess that I should like the idea of conducting monthly surveys, but I am concerned that employees may feel that they are being "over surveyed."
There are options, of course. An organization might randomly assign each emplo…
This is a great read, a great story. I smiled the whole time as I read this. If this conversation is possible in your organization, then I'd say your leadership is trusted and transparent. Thanks for this story.

"If managers cannot commit, then they shouldn’t expect their employees to commit either."
