I have been writing a series of articles on culture-enabled organizational transformation. Much of my philosophies on this subject are derived from learnings on the battlefield as a Navy SEAL, and in the boardroom as an entrepreneur. There are three phases to my transformation model, each with several components: building the change culture, preparing for the change battle, and winning the change fight. Once a company is well-prepared for change and high levels of trust and accountability have been woven into the fabric of the organization's culture, only then can they start preparing for the change battle. Behaviors and mindsets must adapt and a plan of attack developed and communicated. The first phase of winning the change fight is to empower the team and enlist as much participation as possible at all levels.

Being a manager can be an awfully lonely job. You get scrutinized for every move you make, and you rarely receive any bottom-up recognition — if you ever do. There’s no shortage of content written about employee engagement from the workers’ point of view. But engagement for managers isn’t talked about nearly as often, if it ever is. It should be.
Your employees aren't afraid to jump ship if you can't give them a meaningful reason to stay on board.

Many books have properly outlined the power of effective praise and recognition.

Engaged employees are more productive, have higher job satisfaction, and are more focused on customers, according to a Gallup study. But what exactly does "engaged" mean? Boston University professor William Kahn coined the term 25 years ago, but there still isn't a widely accepted definition. What does exist, however, is a lot of frustration and myths surrounding the idea, says Rodd Wagner, vice president of employee engagement strategy for the consulting firm BI Worldwide and author of Widgets: The 12 New Rules for Managing Your Employees As If They're Real People. "Once in a while, you will hear someone say he's 'engaged' or 'disengaged' at work, but not often," he says. "Even after two decades of HR using it, it's not part of the natural vocabulary among employees and, it's now safe to say, it never will be." The problem goes to the core of the relationship between the employee and the company, Wagner says. "Employee engagement is what the business wants; it's strategic with a return-on-investment view," he says. "Happiness is what the employees want. If they each look out for the other's interest, the bargain works exceptionally well. It's human nature to reciprocate what we do for others." Whether you strive for engagement or happiness, Wagner says there are four myths that leaders need to know:

Employee engagement. There’s that buzzword again. What DOES an engaged organization even look like? Scratch that, what does a disengaged organization look like? Wait, what do they look like in comparison?
Satisfaction, motivation, and happiness are like seeds, soil, and water. Without them, you can’t grow engagement. But on their own, they don’t create engagement. To grow crops, you need one more thing: the sun’s energy. To grow engagement, you need energy of employer and employees communicating, collaborating, building trust, and promoting shared values. That’s when magic happens.

By now, everyone’s heard 70% of the workforce is checked out. That’s why employee engagement remains all the rage among management fads. Yet sadly, many of the fixes being offered amount to little more than superficial techniques that don’t fundamentally change how people experience their workplaces, and more importantly, their bosses.

Would you say your employees are engaged at work? Let’s hope so. According to the Harvard Business Review, engaged employees are 22% more productive than their more forlorn peers. Believe it or not, your management style or your policies may be working against employee engagement — even if it’s not your intention.

Employee engagement isn’t just a “nice to have;” it’s critical to organizational success.

At its core, business is simply a network of interconnected conversations. And the health of a company can often be gauged by watching the interactions between employees and their leaders. In toxic companies, conversations are usually destructive and leave people […]
