To the degree you give others what they need, they will work to satisfy your needs.
Susan Stamm, Author, 42 Rules of Employee Engagement
"Rules" would not have been my first choice either David. As you may know, the book is part of a new series of books called 42 Rules...and "42" comes from the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy as the ultimate answer to the questions of life, the uni...
Susan,
I enjoyed your book. I don't care for rules as a methodology to engagement but I feel very comfortable with your "rules." All the best with you work and thanks for offering all these fine resources to our Employee engagement network members...

Hi Craig and Doug,
I have been off on a "training marathon" and have missed your lovely (and entertaining) comments below. How fun. Yes, we are on the same wave length here on this issue!
There seems to be an issue of both giving and also taking...
Doug, don't fall off the hayrack thinking about this---have fun instead!
Interesting thought...do engaged people need to be enabled to be engaged? Do empowered people need to be enabled? Does someone need to give us the keys before we can drive o...
I'll be even quicker than quick Craig. Empowered people don't need to be told or advised to feel empowered, we just....are. I've had a heck of a day so I'll think on this and return in the hope that the flames of fun have been well flamed in my ab...
Hi Susan
A quick comment, because this could be the beginning of a fun conversation...
By "autonomy" I'll assume you are referencing the 'old' concept of empowerment that is almost as difficult to get your hands around as engagement?
I'd like t...

- Susan,
I had the good fortune to hear the dalai lama speak at Rutgers a couple years ago. He said that the path to peace starts in each person's heart. Let's start there.
BTW I am looking forward to hearing more about your forthcoming book on EE.

- Hello David (and Rick)...coffee is always a good way to enhance conversation (and engagement in such = )
I am particularly interested in the impact the boss has on engagement. This is what is occupying my time (and informal research) right now. I recently posted a question on Linkedin asking ...if you could write one rule that every manager should know, what would it be? In three days, I had 137 responses. People shared heart wrenching stories. I think that when it comes to engagement, the manager is the key.

I Hate My Job!
I was driving to a client site yesterday when I got behind a pickup truck with a bummer sticker that said, “I hate my job.” Now there’s a message if anyone is actually paying attention. It flashes like a neon sign as this employee pulls in and out of the employee parking lot, but I’m guessing it shows up even stronger in the employee’s behavior...

Microsoft woes? Try Apple for support
We’ve run our company on Apple computers for 23 years…long before the world discovered what we’ve always known: Macs are cool. As much as we’ve loved our Mac’s we’ve always had one or two applications that required a PC until the newer Macs with Intel chips hit the market. Now we run Windows right on our Macs which is exactly when all the trouble began…

An engaging look at some words of wisdom. Which statements do you believe fits best for employee engagement?
Excellent - thanks Heather!!
I summarized some high-level thought leadership from firms such as DDI, McKinsey, Towers Perrin, and Hewitt in my latest blog post. These are all papers from the last several months discussing engagement: bit.ly/3a4uft

Thanks a lot for your help !
I actually did have a look on Gallup's 12 Questions, the only worry is that it measures more the enablers of employee engagement than employee engagement itself. I have however grouped the items into themes, and only o...
