Employee engagement is never self-made. Connections with others are the glue, lubricant, and fuel for full engagement. Here is a snippet from Malcolm Galdwell’s Outliers:
No one — not even rock stars, not professional athletes, not software billionaires and not even geniuses — ever makes it alone.
In terms of employee engagement, who is helping you and who are you helping?
David …
Your point is key … across all boundaries. We are all so connected in so many ways that is astounding to contemplate.
One of my work/life principles is: I work alone and at the same time connect with others to get results.
Thanks for the reminder.
Dean,
I appreciate your comment. I was just reading about Wilbur Wright. He was talking about an early German flight creator. He said about Lilienthal:
What one man can do himself directly is but little. If however he can stir up ten others to take up the task he has accomplished much.
