Do you ever wonder if the fruit of your efforts make a difference? Have you ever felt that you were shouting something of great importance, but nobody was listening? Have you ever been discouraged because you know the solution, but nobody seems to recognize you as an authority? I know I have and I still encounter that feeling on a regular basis.

“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?
