Increase Engagement in 4 Moves
Engagement is not a mystery. It is a mindset. When leaders listen deeply, act on insights, develop their people, and connect work to purpose, teams respond with energy and ownership. Here are four powerful moves to bring that mindset to life.
1. Listen with range
Great leaders know that listening is not one-size-fits-all. Use multiple channels such as surveys, open forums, focus groups, and skip-level one-on-ones so every voice is heard. When people see that their input matters, they start contributing with confidence and creativity.
2. Turn insight into action
Listening is only the beginning. Try the 1-2-3 method. Pick one idea, brainstorm two workable solutions, and implement three concrete actions. Assign clear owners and timelines so progress is visible and momentum builds. Small wins inspire big change.
3. Grow talent continuously
Not everyone is chasing a promotion, but everyone wants to grow. Encourage mentorships, coaching, cross-functional projects, job shadowing, stretch assignments, and lunch and learns. When leaders invest in people’s growth, engagement follows naturally.
4. Connect work to purpose
Remind your team that their daily work has meaning. Start meetings with a story about how yesterday’s efforts helped a customer or strengthened the community. When people see the reason behind their work, they bring their best every day.
Pick one move this week and make it happen by Friday. Growth does not come from grand gestures. It comes from consistent, intentional action.
Grow. Lead. Thrive.
