Pay Attention
“The secret to engaging our people is to pay attention.” — Skip Gilbert
Is our team truly engaged in their work? Do they see their efforts producing success in our organization or are they just putting in their time? Are they contributing with all of their creativity and energy or just doing what they are told? Do they believe we are headed in the right direction? Do they feel appreciated for their contributions? Do they have confidence in their leader? The success of our organization and leadership may be defined by how the members of our teams answer these questions.
In this video I will do a 2 minute summary of the blog post “Pay Attention” on SkipGilbert.com. Join me as we take time to review a few pointers on becoming a more effective leader.
Great points! I do many of these things already but maybe not with the consistency needed. How do you judge engagement – the three questions – if not asked directly?
