Be careful of clinging too tightly to fixed concepts of employee engagement.
Work, people, and relationships change.
Here is a short zen story on impermanence:
A student went to his meditation teacher and said, “My meditation is horrible! I feel so distracted, my legs ache and I’m constantly falling asleep. It’s horrible!”
“It will pass,” the teacher said.
A week later, the student came back to his teacher.
“My meditation is wonderful! I feel so aware, so peaceful, so alive! It’s just wonderful!’
“It will pass,” the teacher said.
Thanks for this post (and the Art of Time one as well)!!
