- About Me: (Please let us know about you and also add a picture to your profile).
- Early in my management career I worked in cubicle 4S450N, just down the hall from Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert (he was in 4S750R). That experience showed me the best, worst and funniest that corporate life has to offer. Since then I've been on a quest to find a better way.
That's taken me through running a corporate strategy team at a F500 telecom company, serving as a partner in a strategy consulting firm, and now serving as CEO of Dissero Partners and co-authoring BIG Ideas to BIG Results (FT Press/Pearson Hall, 2008).
- What is your involvement in employee engagement?
- Our ACT (Accelerated Corporate Transformation) process is used by executives at companies driving strategic changes, launching major initiatives, taking over as new leaders, and boosting corporate perforamnce. One of the key ingredients of ACT is how to rapidly develop leaders at all levels who are truly engaged in the business. In fact, engagement is the topic of chapter 7 in BIG Ideas to BIG Results.

Thanks so much.
My colleague Florence Stone just showed me the article you wrote for Executive Matters on change programs. Nice article. I like how you bring in the importance of employee engagement.

In my work one of the keys has always been helping leaders at all levels engage their teams in designing action plans and "operationalizing" strategies. I recently was a guest blogger on Sramana Mitra's site (columnist for TheStreet.com) where I talk about the challenges of engaging global teams and some technology solutions. I'm interested in learning more about the best ways to keep a global team engaged with each other.

It'd be great if you could tell us a little bit about your interest in social media and what you hope to get out of the social media discussion.
Thanks for starting up the new sub-group. Not sure where the conversation will go, but it is a very important topic and challenge for many leaders today. I'm especially interested in any new technologies that people find useful.
Welcome to the new sub-group Using social media in the workplace. Please share any experiences comments or questions you may have.
I'll look forward to connecting with you around the topic.
I noticed you postedto this discussion thread on social media
As you say, there is a learning and familarity issue here. As is often noted, we talk about CEO bloggers, but we don't talk about CEO emailers - it's just something that is accepted.
I've set up this new sub-group on using social media, and look forward to joining the ongoing conversation.

I appreciated your author video from 1-800CEO Books. I had to remove them from the front page. You can always embed them on your personal page or even use the blog feature on your personal page to put them on the network. They may also be helpful in the Employee Engagement Writer's Group.

I caught you author interview at 1-800 CEO on the weekend. We have lots of authors on the site so I posted it in the left hand column for a week with the first of the two videos.
