Engagement Is a Means, Not an End<\/a>, by Michael Schrage Harvard Biz in HBR.org<\/h3>\n

An executive friend in an organization and industry riven by digital disruption and declining margins confided over lunch how dramatically her new CEO had impressed everyone at a recent executive offsite. \u201cShe listened carefully to people\u2019s complaints about all the processes and obstructions they felt got in the way of their doing their jobs,\u201d said my friend, \u201cand instead of pushing back or challenging them, she agreed and said she\u2019d do everything she could to get those obstacles removed\u2026.People were amazed and energized.\u201d…<\/p>\n

The Psychology of Teams: 9 Lessons on How Happy, Efficient Teams Really Work<\/a>, by Kevan Lee in Hubspot Blogs<\/h3>\n

Remember a job you loved? (Hopefully, it’s the one you have now!) Remember a job you hoped to leave? When I reflect back on my career journey, I have jobs that fit both categories, and the difference has often been the fit of the team. The happier and hustle-ier the group of coworkers, the more we get done and the more fun we have doing it. Now imagine having a way to get there, no matter where on that spectrum your team sits now. I researched a bit into some of the psychology and underpinnings of the most efficient, most happy team setups. Here’s what I’ve discovered\u2026<\/p>\n

How Personality Profiling Can Help You Engage With Disengaged Employees<\/a>, by Erin Latham in EreMedia<\/h3>\n

The odds are good that you have at least one disengaged employee at your company. After all, it\u2019s estimated that approximately two-thirds of all U.S. employees aren\u2019t engaged in their current jobs. The tricky part is that disengagement is difficult to detect. You can\u2019t assume your employees are engaged just because they\u2019re checking off tasks. People can perform efficiently without being emotionally invested in their contributions to the organization. And if they\u2019re unhappy, the danger lies in the fact that you don\u2019t know if and when they\u2019re going to leave \u2014 putting you in a bind…<\/p>\n

The Five Biggest Differences Between Good Managers And Bad Ones<\/a>, by Liz Ryan in Forbes<\/h3>\n

We have to stay human at work. We have to laugh and remember that only one thing powers our efforts, and that one thing is our good energy. If we aren\u2019t feeling it, then you can forget about your forecasts and schedules. They won\u2019t happen unless the team is energized around their goals, and you won\u2019t get your team energized by hounding them and measuring every breath they take and every keystroke they make.<\/p>\n
