Great Leaders Accomplish Great Results Through Employee Engagement
After leading team member development, employee engagement is the number one role of every leader. The more engaged your team members, the higher your results will be.
Most managers and leaders think that leading people is only about attaining desired performance results and helping people cope with, accept, and implement change.
I would argue that great leaders accomplish great results and implement change by focusing on employee engagement. Great leaders know that performance results and change implementation are actually best derived from the engagement and motivation of team members.
Here are eight of my favorite quotations on leading employee engagement, excerpted from my recent book Great Leadership Words of Wisdom. I hope these quotes will stir your own thoughts on how to enhance employee engagement within the teams and business units you lead:
