Engage: Get The Meaning in a Minute from Twitter

ENGAGE: What does this word mean to you? (140 characters or less).

I engaged briefly with Twitter this afternoon and asked the above question. It was a good way to get some quick perspective on a term that I use so often. Thanks to the group of 7 for responding so quickly.

  1. Mary Ann Masarech mmasarech Enthused and in gear (implies not just commitment or working hard… but focusing on things that matter)

  2. Michael Hartland WordsthatMove Engaged – buy-in to the mission, culture and common good of the organisation as well as focus on individual responsibilities

  3. Marianne Mariment Ahh yes, “court” as in falling in love, not “court” as in divorce.

  4. Doug Shaw snoopdougydoug purposeful, powerful, playful and profitable
  5. Marianne Mariment Good old fashioned “courting” may help the economy to recover. Court the customer, and $$ will follow.

  6. workhappynow workhappynow “engage” to me means getting down into the trenches and enjoying every freak’n minute of the experience.

  7. Marianne Mariment ENGAGE: court the customer as though he/she is The One! –

  8. Brad Fair bradfair Engage… intentional and active involvement

My definition. ENGAGE, to me, means a powerful connection full of gumption, heart, mindfulness, external focus, and happiness.

Go ahead and let me know your definition of engage in under 140 characters by leaving a comment or posting a comment to me on Twitter at: www.twitter.com/davidzinger

  1. Darn, I was on a client call when you posted this to Twitter. I was typing up my response with one finger and then accidentally clicked out of the window. So much for multi-tasking (smiles).

    ENGAGE: to interact with others on a personable level with the intention of sharing and learning.

  2. Mia:
    But you now have your comment in the site and you can still put it up on Twitter. I believe this is a good application of Twitter to get a fast pulse or definition.

  3. I like how engagement to each person is different, but similar. It reminds you when implementing new systems or policies each employee is going to use it and act upon it differently. Understanding how to get the most effect out of your leadership across diversity is a good challenge.
