Beyond Employee Engagement
Genera4ng real a5en4on, focus and produc4vity
Objec8ves • Engagement today and advantage • Priori4es for a5en4on, improvement
How we’ll not do this
Engagement: Individual discre8onary effort
Urgency Focus Intensity Enthusiasm Persistence Proac4vity Role Expansion Adaptability
What engagement isn’t…
“What do I have to say to get them to be more interested in their work, or even just do what they’re told, and like it, without complaining?”
It also isn’t “happiness”.
Engagement is a necessary but not sufficient condi4on for survival and growth. Engagement does predict greater resilience. Engagement makes a claim on scarce resources, hence best approached from perspec4ves of op8mality and efficiency.
A compe44ve differen8ator
Engagement makes you more relevant to the future…

You can’t achieve anything worthwhile through things that you do “reasonably well, most of the 4me.”
The essen8al ques4ons of strategy are: • Which of our habits are we really
prepared to change, permanently and forever?
• Which lifestyle changes are we really prepared to make?
• What issues are we really ready to tackle?
There is no benefit in claiming to pursue a goal that everyone can tell you don’t have the guts to pursue.
You are here.""
Where do you want to go next?"
Thank you!
