Watch this brief 4-minute video on how leadership effects employee enthusiasm and engagement at work and how disengaged employees kill business results.
Employee engagement is defined here as “unlocking employee potential” and releasing discretionary effort at work. The video is long on the business reasons to seek engagement. It’s short on how to unlock that potential.
Employees are people and people are unique. What works for one won’t work for another. That’s why the number one way to unlock employee potential is finding out what they need, what is getting in their way, and to help them make progress. In other words, be an approachable leader.
