Creating A Culture Of Engagement
All organizations want actively engaged employees because they are enthusiastic about their work, inspired and motivated by their leaders, empowered with autonomy to do their job their way, and confident they can achieve excellence. In this keynote, you will discover some of the traits that leaders need and the skills to apply to create a culture of engagement.
Overview of Keynote
Creating a culture of engagement seems simple, but the problem is many leaders go about engaging their employees the wrong way. Many try to create a fun workplace by bringing in free food or having a “bring your dog to work” policy. Some try the family-friendly approach and provide on-site daycare, flex time, or allow employees to work from home. Others reward performance with time off, bonuses, or other perks.
While these sound great (who wouldn’t want free food?), there’s a reason these approaches are failing. Real engagement is an inside job. It comes from the internal relationship with your leader and the work itself.
In this keynote, you will discover some of the emotional intelligence traits that leaders need to create a culture of engagement within their teams. You will walk away with skills to develop deep, meaningful relationships with your staff so they are committed to doing their best work for the organization. And the good news is that this inside-out approach lasts a lot longer than Free Food Fridays.
“Outstanding leaders go out of their way to boost the self-esteem of their personnel. If people believe in themselves, it’s amazing what they can accomplish.”
— Sam Walton
