Employee Engagement Plays: Tragedy or Adventure

How does engagement play out with you?

Here is are two short 3 act engagement plays I wrote on Twitter. Each act was limited to less than 140 characters.

Employee Disengagement – Tragedy

Act 1: Alarm goes…keep hitting snooze button…hope day ends.

Act 2: Get to work late…who cares…go for coffee…wonder if paper cut is big enough for long term disability.

Act 3: Avoid coworkers and bosses…avoid work…just plain avoid until 5:00. Go home, repeat tomorrow.

Employee Engagement – Adventure

Act 1: Wake up…really wake up. Have coffee. Think about day. Head to work with anticipation and box of donuts.

Act 2. Connect with peers, leaders, work, organization. Make a contribution that benefits both myself and organization.

Act 3. Go home and engage fully with family and community. Sleep well and dream about an engaged tomorrow.

    I like the side by side “choose your adventure” approach.

    You really punctuated the power of engagement and connection.

    Based on your comments and style of writing I think we need to look at a joint venture on leadership/engagement/etc.
