Creating a culture of engagement isn’t a matter of rocket science–it’s pretty simple. It’s not that we don’t know what to do to solve our employee engagement problems–it’s that we fail to do what we know. For instance, most every leader knows how important it is to:
- Have a compelling vision
- Be someone we can trust
- Hire the right person for the right role
- Reassign or “coach out” anyone that isn’t the best fit for a role
- Give your everything they need to do great work
- Challenge your team
- Stop doing what gets in their way
- Listen, listen, listen
- Recognize their contributions
- Encourage risks and failures
I could go on and on–and so can you.
Our problem isn’t in the knowing department–it’s in the doing department.
The knowing is simple.
The doing is hard.
Why do you think the doing seems to be so hard for so many of us?
