As I read you comment and think about this I ponder the significent role fear plays in work, engagement,and disengagement. I appreciate your thoughts as I put the thought up as a paradox that made me think. David Thanks Travis:

Sinquefield Thu, 01 Mar 2007 13:29:00 +0000 http://www.davidzinger.com/employee-engagement-a-key-thought-169/#comment-187 David, Those survey results are quite interesting. I am surprised the numbers are that high since it seems disengagement in the workplace seems to be quite high. Are all of those 84%/77% of people fully engaged enough to continue to work? Or are they just afraid of getting bored? The second part tells me they aren't fully engaged, otherwise they wouldn't wish they were doing something else. The quandry is even deeper than that - people aren't engaged at work, they wish they were doing something else, but yet most are afraid to leave their jobs to find something better...and yet, if they won the lottery, they'd still want to work. Doesn't make much sense. Travis David,
