Culture of Engagement
Most people will enthusiastically support only what they've had an active hand in creating.
Research studies consistently find that between 40-60% of employees are "not engaged" and that 10-20% are "actively disengaged." Disengagement is not only a huge financial cost, but impacts the spirit of an organization - its passion, innovation, purpose, and commitment. These studies suggest that we daily squander capability and capacity. This is a collective leadership challenge, and opportunity.
Obviously, no leader intends for these results to occur; so what happens? Less effective leaders speak of the culture as if it is out there somewhere - separate from them. From this framework, organizations attempt to run "Employee Engagement Programs." Yet, the most effective leaders know that leadership begins with them, that leadership sets the culture. We do not treat culture as separate issue to be "taken on." Culture is the effect of how we lead. Great leaders master the art of collective leadership and create great cultures of engagement. A great culture of engagement extends to and is inclusive of all stakeholder groups.
A healthy, vibrant high engagement culture is a powerful force for obtaining long-term, sustainable results. This is not easily accomplished however. Engaging others increasingly brings leaders face-to-face with endless differences - regional, national, ethnic, religious, racial, gender, and so on. And yet, as the strategic priority in most organizations call for collaboration across boundaries and around the globe, the need to creatively engage these differences is paramount. The leadership conversation needs to be two-way, rich, real and inclusive. It needs to allow everyone to have access to the best knowledge and skills available. It needs to bring out the innovative capability residing in the intersection of such diversity.
