Sliding into engaging connections.
by David Zinger
We seem to be in a constant search for the defintion of employee engagement. It is like what one judge said about ponography, you know it when you see it but it is difficult to define.
To me, employee engagement is connection. View this 16 slide presentation on the key connections for employee engagement.
But the key question is HOW?
I believe that to be connected to employees, one must be transparent in your intentions thus building a trust relationship. It is the manager’s responsibility to build trust with the employee and NOT the other way around (just because the boss said “Trust me”).
Talk to the employees and not to your other managers within your circle. Have open communication – ask them what they think! Your strength is in your people – and their ideas.
Scott:
I really appreciate your comment. I also like Peter Block’s ideas in The Answer to How is Yes.
