CK – You’re welcome.

David – You’re always welcome here. Your voice is missed.

J.D. – That’s a great one too. Thanks for pulling it out.

Todd – The action of thinking about something and taking action on just your team, and managing up for your manager, is that simple. Implementing department-wide can be VERY hard.

Non-immediate feedback is not nearly as effective as immediate feedback. Stop back tomorrow for one suggestion on making it a weekly habit with limited time.

Good tips. But I wonder if it can ever be that simple. We have these big IS get togethers to talk about accomplishments, goals, and outstanding players. Sadly, they are long, boring, and the same folks always get recognized.

Not immediate feedback either for those that are recognized.

I like the approach of a sentence for each week of the year.

This is my favorite sentence from the bunch:
“Ask them what do they think is to be done, and how it is to be done.”

Hi Phil:

We are so overloaded with so much it was helpful to reduce or focus employee engagement within one sentence. I am glad you liked it.

And yes, even though I have a lot of things on my plate, I miss being a regular Slacker!
