BE REASSURING...BE BRAVE...BE ENTHUSIASTIC
How are you doing on the motivation and engagement metrics?
We entitled our 2010 Master Class “Leading from the Front”* as a series of reminders to business leaders – are you really out there setting the direction? Listening? Keeping your finger on the pulse? Being authentic?
In some cases, the answer is obviously ‘no’. Vibrations we've picked up and research we recently read suggest that at the slightest hint of a recovery, 60% of staff will look to move jobs quickly...
Bizarrely, over 80% of employers “are very confident” their staff will stick around.
So, how are you doing on the “motivation and engagement” metrics? How do you measure the important intangibles that keep people productive and committed?
Here are some guidelines from our Master Class keynote speaker Paul Barlow, a veteran of the highly competitive IT sector:
- Demonstrate that you understand the pressures on people
- Continue to develop yourself and your team
- Increase opportunities for real dialogue
- Audit the communications processes
- Find time to think
- Simplify the strategy
Or, to use Paul's closing line... “Be reassuring...be brave...be enthusiastic.”
How are you doing?

Many of our clients appreciate the benefits of a well designed and executed 360° process and a significant majority of our coaching assignments are initiated with a feedback exercise. We apply a strict rigor to all our work involving feedback. This applies to ensuring that clients understand and agree to the principles of how the gathering of feedback is to be done and how the outputs are to be communicated and used.
