"Robert, The peer pressure to which I refer was not incivility or disrespect. Thanks for your plan and I look forward to your review. "

Robert Morris replied to Terrence Seamon's discussion Can you engage the actively disengaged?
"More often than not, I agree that peer pressure will prevail. However, that said, C-level tolerance of incivility condones it. So I think that supervisors must have zero tolerance of any behavior that is illegal and unethical, of course, but also…"

"Robert, If management generally treats employees well enough to cause most to choose to become, my experience indicates that peer pressure alone will stop both passive and active engagement. Those engaged simply won't let others not pull their…"

Robert Morris replied to Terrence Seamon's discussion Can you engage the actively disengaged?
"I agree with Ben Simonton. Also, those who are actively disengaged (rather than passively engaged, "mailing it in") are working against the best interests of the organization that employs them. Perhaps they have legitimate issues that have…"

Ben Simonton replied to Terrence Seamon's discussion Can you engage the actively disengaged?
"The question belies a misunderstanding of engagement. Management does not engage employees. Management can only create the conditions under which employees decide to become engaged, to unleash 100% of their brainpower on their work meaning 100% of…"

David Zinger replied to Terrence Seamon's discussion Can you engage the actively disengaged?
"I absolutely believe you can invite the disengaged to engage. We are never helpless, it is never hopeless. I quibble with the wording in the question Terrence. I believe that engagement is a personal responsibility so I cannot engage someone else…"

Profile Information

Who are you?
Professionally, I have been a Training & Organization Development Guy for over 30 years. In a nutshell, I'm a coach, facilitator, blogger, and transitionist.

Currently I am consulting in the Training & OD field, including design and delivery of leadership development training and coaching. Three of my natural strengths that I love are Communicating, Facilitating, and Designing.

Also, I am a Career Transition Consultant, helping individuals to rebound from job loss and galvanize their job searches.

I joined this network because I believe that employee engagement hinges on Managers.

My greatest accomplishment in life is the two sons that my wife Joan and I have raised. I am so proud of who they are becoming.

My greatest desire is to see peace on earth and I feel called to apply my gifts to that goal.

My approach is "One Small Thing" every day. If all of us did one small thing every day, we would change the world.

PS - See that cute curly haired gal in my photo? That's my love Joan, my bride of over 25 years and running. We are standing near the beach in Galway, Ireland.
What is your interest or involvement in employee engagement?
I started a new social network called The Heart of Meaningful Work. It was originally on ning, but I have built a new home for it on LinkedIn. http://www.linkedin.com/groups?mostPopular=&gid=3062086 Please come and join.

The Heart of Meaningful Work

I recently started a new social network called The Heart of Meaningful Work. I envision it as a cousin to the Employee Engagement Network.

The economic downturn we are still experiencing has caused many people to question and explore the meaning of work in their lives. Is it enough to work to live, to pay the bils, and put the kids through college? Maybe it is, for now. But do we work for another reason? Is there a higher purpose to our work?

How can we discover our calling in life? That's what I'm hoping to share and discuss at The Heart of Meaningful Work. If you find this interesting, you are invited to join. You will find the group on LinkedIn. I look forward to seeing you there.

Thanks for the invitation!

I've been thinking about the role of invitation in connecting with and engaging others. Invitation is critical. It's a key component in building community.

For some years now, I've been active at my church, a place called St. Matthias in central New Jersey. I've committed myself to a number of ministries including the Pastoral Council, as well as facilitating small faith sharing groups, and providing support for those seeking employment. We have often had discussions about how to…

File Under: "You Don't Get It"

This tweet caught my eye a few moments ago:

employees to access it." #youdontgetit (tweet by AgileBob)



He filed it (in twitterese) under #youdontgetit
