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 unive…
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 a…
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 off…
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 abse…
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 to…

- 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…

Do you ever wonder how past leaders could have missed what seems so obvious in hindsight? Sadly, most leaders live in an environment that makes them vulnerable to managerial failure. The problem lies in a little-recognized reality of leadership: iso…
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.
I won't be wishing you "Season's Greetings" or "Happy Holidays" this December. These secular, generic salutations are popular in corporate America because they are not specific to any one religion or belief system. The business world, like America's…
Hello Paul:
"if you want to improve productivity and reduce costs, you need to
tap into human nature’s pleasure-fueled engine."
I could not agree more but if we wait until after we hire someone we have waited too long.

A Manager shall know one's team member more than his/her mother knows him/her.
