Engaged Leadership:
Building a Culture to Overcome Employee Disengagement
 |
Research indicates that less than
one-third of employees are truly engaged. The vast
majority of employees simply show up to work each day
prepared to do the minimum to get by. This problem of
employee disengagement is a source of ongoing
frustration for leaders of any organization.
“The
solution for overcoming employee disengagement is
Engaged Leadership … a proactive approach to leadership
that involves building consensus
for the vision, inspiring
employees to pursue the vision, and developing the team
to realize the vision.”

Living for the Weekday:
What Every Boss and Employee Needs to Know about Enjoying
Work and Life
|
|
We live in a world of
disengagement. According to The Gallup Organization,
three out of four people are at some level of
disengagement in their life. The people in this group
have chosen to see their work as a necessary evil to
survive. The result is often an entire career waiting
for time away from work. They’re waiting for vacation.
“When
we help employees find a proper balance in their lives,
we do much more than build employee engagement … we
unleash tremendous amounts of much-needed creativity to
help us compete in an ever changing business world.”

Connecting Generations:
Enhancing Employee Engagement by Bridging the Generation Gap
|
|
The ability to bring generations
together is one of the single most important factors for
business success in the new millennium. In order to
achieve cooperation between the generations in the
workplace, understanding the reasons for the differences
and knowing how to respond to these differences will
determine the level of success.
“When
generations can’t find a way to work together, it’s a
shame. When the people running your business can’t get
them to work together, it’s a disaster.” |
Tell Me Somethin’ Good!:
Building a Corporate Culture Focused on the Good Stuff
|
|
These are tough times for many
people. The global economic crisis has created anxiety
for friends, family, and co-workers who have been
affected directly or indirectly. If we can’t find enough
negativity in our own world, the media provides a steady
diet of negative information.
“We
each have a responsibility to help build a culture
around us that gets everyone focused on the good in
life. That’s what Tell Me Somethin’ Good! is all about.” |

Engaged Leadership:
Building a Culture to Overcome Employee Disengagement
There are two kinds of
employees—engaged and disengaged. Engaged employees are
those who are dedicated
to the organization's vision and eager to contribute. They
are productive and live
by the organization's values. Disengaged employees are those
who aren't even aware of the organization's vision and spend
most of their time watching the
clock. They simply show up to work prepared to do the
minimum to get by. Whereas engaged employees challenge those
around them to do more and better, disengaged employees
demoralize the productive employees with their lack of
passion and intensity.
Living for the Weekday: What Every
Employee and Boss Needs to Know about Enjoying Work and Life
Employee engagement drives superior
performance—it's that simple. Good leaders know this, and
take active steps
to promote it. Yet engagement is a two-
way street; no program works without employees stepping up
and participating.
If you're a leader, this participation is the key to your
team's breakthrough results.
If you're a team member, it's the ticket
for more life satisfaction and career advancement.
