'
42Rules of Employee Engagement' was born out of need for
corporations, leaders and managers to engage with employees. Depending
on whose research you read, as much as three quarters of the global
workforce were not engaged! How long could organizations continue down
this path and thrive or survive?
As overwhelming as these data seem,
Susan Stamm began to recognize the solutions are simple and within our
reach. Engagement begins and ends with leaders and their day to day
actions. It's the little things that make the big difference: how much
information the leaders shares, how they approach important
conversations, how much control they need, and how well they listen. An
organization can be a best place to work, yet have a team no one wants
to work on. The reverse is also true and it is almost always related to
the leader.
A challenge is that leaders often have blind spots,
especially leaders that are struggling with their teams. This book
include stories that leaders can relate to and that might open the door
for them to consider how their actions appear to others.
