Yearning for connection

Sam Deeks — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 20:05:43 +0000

The desire to connect with others, or get them to understand you can often lead to a desire to engage. One of the biggest unspokens can be the fear to articulate our need for others, because we may feel weak or vulnerable.

The Fantasy Of Control

Sam Deeks — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 18:19:57 +0000

Many people in organisations think that their leaders and senior management are obsessed with the idea that they can fix things with even more hard data – and that this gives rise to the fantasy of being in control.

The real problems that need fixing are often left hidden under the table; unacknowledged and undealt with – a taboo subject. For a lot of people the stuff hidden under the table is what really matters. If you’re looking for employee engagement then be prepared to bring this stuff out and put it on the table.

This IS how it is..

So many people we’ve worked with tell us that there’s a painful contradiction between what organisations have to say about what’s going on and what people actually see and feel. This leaves them wondering ‘why can’t they say how it really is’? The result? Disengaged employees.

What about you? Do you see things differently from your organisation? How does this affect employee engagement? Why not print this out and ask a colleague what they think.

Who does all the work around here?

We see this a lot in organisations. Everybody thinks that the people above them don’t really contribute as much as they do to the success of the business. Result? Disengaged employees at every level. What about you? Who does all the work in your organisation. Why not show this to a colleague and ask them what they think?
