- Thanks for adding me Vicki. I've always been very interested in Root Learning and I hope to meet in person sometime since we're so close. I remember when Root Learning was located in Arrowhead.
Reach out anytime. Thanks again.

- Hi Vicki:
Wonderful to have someone from Root learning in the network. Your organization does the best "at drawing out engagement." I enjoyed the day I spend in Sylvania in very early April. A wonderful building holding a wonderful group of people. I trust you will find good information and strong connections here. I encourage you to contribute to the forums, blogs, etc. If I can be of assistance, let me know.

Great word ownership, Kurt.
Without a strong sense of ownership by the employee we don't get their full engagement, their complete commitment to the work.
The formula for employee ownership for any boss is to listen to the employee and that give...
Remember, recognition is free. It's not material. It's a communication tool. I agree with Ben that employees need a voice and a safe place to use it. They also want some ownership in the processes and acknowledgment that the tasks they perform mea...
Recognition is important, but possibly not in the way you think. Rewards have negative effects down the road no matter how good they look. On this subject, read Alfie Kohn's "Punished by Rewards".

I think recognising your staff becomes all the more important in today's climate of budget cuts, pressures and downsizing. We all want to feel valued, both as employees and human beings, and to have someone else say 'thank you, your continued supp...

Teach your employees how to Manage Up: Some people think this is brown nosing, but it's really about helping your boss understand who you are.
Angela,
I think recognition is always essential but we have to look at the deeper reason why. Reward and recognition confirms value. Every human being wants to know, "Does my life matter?" This is the questions we help answer when we reward and re...
Be real, don't use jargon, and be honest. If something is going to hurt people would rather be prepared!
