Lead Where You Are: Cultivating Employee Engagement Where It Matters Most - Paperback

by Ryan Carnes (Author), Ken Carnes (Author)

There is an exciting evolution in organizational performance underway, with change and disruption impacting nearly every industry and organization. This evolution gives us a chance to reimagine organizational, team and personal performance and the impact each and every one of us can and will have on that performance in the future. From the board room to the break room and everywhere in between.In Lead Where You Are, Ken and Ryan Carnes establish the foundation to drive better organizational, team, and individual performance in this rapidly evolving and very demanding performance environment. They do this by highlighting and explaining the five core engagement factors for cultivating and sustaining individual and organizational engagement. Each core factor is discussed, examples provided and action items given to truly move the needle on employee engagement. Lead Where You Are was written to help you proactively lead and pursue your personal performance, not have it managed and reviewed on an annual basis. To help you see the possibilities for change everywhere in this environment of disruption, rather than letting obstacles and barriers inhibit performance, or simply waiting for change to happen and trying to react to it and manage it. To lead where you are is to find opportunities and ways to develop and cultivate real relationships in a world dominated by electronic communication, and where the art of the relationship is rapidly disappearing. It is finding a purpose in the work you do. Daily actions and activities that are purpose driven and not task directed and managed, are far more rewarding and motivating. And it is to lead with personal accountability, even when those above you or around you might be focused on finding and placing blame or lacking in personal accountability.
