Invitation for You...

THIS IS A SPECIAL INVITATION...

I invite all leaders (from every area and walk of life!) to join me in this blog, which among other things, will be discussions and snippets from The Leaders Vault.

The vault is a special library containing the teachings of leaders from thousands of years. It was recently made public by Stan, who is the main character of CATAPULTED.

From my blog you may find some ideas for your company, a little bit of mentoring, and you may just notice the world a little differently.

You will be invited to participate in the ongoing conversations and comment on what you've learned, or to ask questions so that discussion might be more helpful to you.

Each post will end in a question to keep the dialog going with you.

Please, if you like what you see, subscribe to at least the Silver Level of The Leader's Vault (the free level) so you can stay informed and "at the top of your game."

And, please forward a link to CatapultedLeader.com to your friends and colleagues.

You are ALL WELCOME to come in and see what The Leaders' Vault is all about...

Does Crisis Affect Employee Engagement?

According to studies done before the current economic downturn, more than 7 in 10 employees are not fully engaged in their work. These employees are less interested in what they can give in their job than what they can get out of it.

Now that jobs are more precious, some managers have noticed some employees are less likely to be absent or or delay projects. However, are employees more engaged or are they simply scared?

In my experience fear can't generate the creativity and passion needed to move us past the economic crisis. Employees need more than fear to keep them engaged.

Prior to the crisis, the top thing low contributors were asking for was more of the "What" and "Why". Employees needed a better understanding of the priorities and the reasoning for those priorities.

If this was important before the crisis, imagine how much more important employees' clarity is now. Employees who are fearful are craving clear direction.

When employees have clarity on "what" and "why," they can decide more easily, even when you aren't there.

Try this during your next staff meeting. Have your employees make a list of the top three priorities and why those priorities are crucial. Don't criticize them for disagreements. Just clarify priorities and reasoning with them. Clarify regularly.

The economy has emphasized the importance of employee engagement. And the good news is that you have direct control of many of main levers that influence employee engagement.
