The big idea: People with the power want to do big expensive things! Is this necessary? Is it effective?
Rory Sutherland on TED provides SMALL inspiration for employee engagement.
Transfer the ideas to engagement. Rory Sutherland’s focus is not on engagement but the principles apply to engagement.
Get tiny and terrific. I appreciated how engaged Rory is with his subject and how he encourages us to think about small as the new significant. We need to think of the tiny in employee engagement. Let’s stop our focus on the big survey and move towards those small interactions which make such a big difference.
Do you have a C.D.O.? I encourage you to find the employee engagement all in small. Get your Chief Detail Officer working on employee engagement now.

This is such a good talk. I never thought about it in relationship to employee engagement. I guess the sign of a great presentation is that different people take away different things.
David,
I probably think about everything in relationship to employee engagement. Just how I’m wired.
