The We in Employee Engagement

by David Zinger: david@davidzinger.com 

Peter Drucker on we:

The leaders who work most effectively, it seems to me, never say “I.” And that’s not because they have trained themselves not to say “I.” They don’t think “I.” They think “we”; they think “team.” They understand their job to be to make the team function. They accept responsibility and don’t sidestep it, but “we” gets the credit. This is what creates trust, what enables you to get the task done.
― Peter F. Drucker

Take your “I” out of employee engagement and install the we as organizations morph into authentic communities.
