6. Can you get employee engagement at no cost?
Patrick Lencioni thinks so
7. First, get to know your peoplebetter than
you know them today. Take an interest in what is going on in their
lives and find out what their dreamsand
passionsare, both professionally and
personally. The only caveatis that you
have to be genuinely interested. If you
haven't done this much before and you're afraid that it will
feel weirdto start now, do it anyway. Your employees
want it, need it and will thank you for it. - PATRICK LENCIONI
8. First, it will require a great deal of courage
and selflessness on the part of a manager
who will at times feel disingenuous,
embarrassed or incompetent. As for
this being touchy-feely, ask yourself if
productivity, morale and retention are
touchy-feely. Would tolerating a little touchy-
feely a reasonable price to pay for giving your
employees a sense of appreciation,
fulfillment and meaning at work
PATRICK LENCIONI
23. The world may be different
In a hundred years from now; it would not matter how
big my house was, what kind of cars I drove or how
much money I had in the bank. What matters is that
…. because I was important in the life of a child
