How to Help Others Through a Difficult Transition by Peter Bregman
"I don't want to go to ski class!" Sophia, my four-year-old daughter, was crying. I knelt down on the snow so we could be at eye level and asked her why.
"I just don't want to go," she whimpered.
I didn't want her to skip class. She was already skiing well — turning and stopping on her own — so I knew she could do it. Plus she'd asked for lessons and we'd committed with the instructor. I wanted to teach her that she needed to follow through on her commitments. Finally, I had seen this before: she'd cried while learning to ride a bicycle, but when she finally learned, she was tremendously proud of herself.
I tried to comfort her, reason with her, convince her that, in fact, she liked class and at the end of it she would smile and tell me she had fun.
How to Track Employee Engagement?
There’s no question that employee engagement continues to be a hot topic amongst senior leaders these days as the economy continues to struggle through what appears to be the bottom of its hole and companies place more focus on improving productivity. The Institute for Corporate Productivity (i4cp) has found strong correlations between engaged workforces and high-performing ones, which is probably why that amidst layoffs and stock plunges engagement has become all that more important.
In a recent engagement study we did with the ASTD, we asked how companies measure engagement. Some of the most common responses are pretty obvious and standard, such as asking in exit interviews and tracking turnover, but neither of those are particularly good at tackling the problem before employees quit.
