Employee engagement is a precursor to developing a hi performance culture. In a study of 2,178 business units from 10 companies, research evidenced that workforce engagement predicted levels of performance. Harter,J.K., Schmidt (2005, August). Employee engagement and business unit performance: A longitudinal meta-analytic study of casual direction. If employee engagement is formulated by the local manger’s behaviors, style and the created local culture, managers need as much help as leadership can provide. This relationship, known as vertical alignment, is managed with ease using the 30 second manager tools, and a defined system containing essential elements of leader focus, communication and unlimited support for the people responsible for executing the leader’s strategy.
In summary, the workforce responsible for executing the leader’s vision must first become “engaged” in order to become a high performing workgroup. To transcend this model from a concept to a reality, by leader being very clear on the vision, (MT), a team of leadership and managers defining what they need to know about competencies, processes, tools and workforce engagement to “get them there”. Theses will be the “Critical Success Factors.”
