You got that right! Great title, drew me straight in Lisa. I'm going to print the article and read on my hols. Will get back to you on my return with any thoughts and inspiration you provoke. For now, a quickie. I recently heard someone speak on outcomes of the financial crisis. This person argued in favour of the bonus as pretty much the only motivator (she had experience in the banking sector). I countered suggesting that a personal development fund could be set aside for people. Experience shows us the power of life long learning and the strong bonds people make with places and organisations they learn from. The response? "It'll never work in financial services, bankers already know everything!". I think the speaker was expecting a laugh - it didn't come.
Thx again for the pointer to this. Doug

My view on this is that where you treat employee engagement like a ‘big bang’ corporate change programme it will always carry a significant risk of turning into an ‘organisational Vietnam’. Don’t go to war in the first place!

A manager should always remember he/she is "on stage"- and his/her subordinates notice every little trait so always exhibit the behavior you would want them to emulate.
As a Leader it is your job to facilitate progress, be the agent of change not the barrier to it.

I love Leo Babauta’s Zen Habits, in which he writes on simple productivity and life issues. His recent book The Power of Less is a compact and practical guide to reclaiming your life from busyness and inefficiency. I…
Hi Ben...
Thanks for the reply!
Question--what have you seen as a "clear, coherent script" that assures success? And do you think such scripts need updating to address the shifts we've seen in organizations and the marketplace?
All the best from…
In my experience, achieving engagement creates huge increases in productivity per person, morale, retention, profits, sales, and every other "devoutly to be wished" result. So it is always worth the effort.
But the company person, CEO or executive…
