Engagement is key to transforming your
people and organization.

Every day, the actions of you as a leader has a direct impact on how your people feel. Research has found that for almost 70% of people, their manager has an equal impact on their mental health as their spouse. This emphasizes the immense influence leaders have on their people’s Emotions.

Emotions are short or intense feelings that arise in response to events, objects, or individuals. They are intuitive and/or immediate responses to our environment. Over time, our employee’s emotions and work experiences interact together to shape our people’s Mindset.

Different than emotions, an employee’s Mindset are more stable and steadfast. While people’s feelings can change quickly, Mindsets, which encompass our attitudes, beliefs, and outlook, are developed over time and fluctuate much less. It is these attitudes, shaped by our emotions and experiences, that most greatly impact our actions and Behaviors.

Behaviors are simply what we do. Each day, employees have the choice: Will they go above and beyond or do the bare minimum? Will they put the team and organization first or prioritize their own needs. The collective actions of your people, driven primarily by their Mindsets, ultimately determine how your organization Performs.

As demonstrated in this framework, your company’s performance is ultimately driven by their mindset or level of engagement. The more motivated, satisfied, and committed they are, the more discretionary effort they will give and the better your organization will perform. The facts are clear . . . Engagement permeates your entire organization.
