How do I get my direct reports to be more engaged?
A question a lot of leaders have asked over the past 2 years. And, in the event of employees who used to perform but have seemingly “fallen off the wagon,” we have asked how do we re-engage them?
Regardless of which question we are asking (and even if we are asking both of them), the answer lies within truly knowing our direct reports. If we actually know who they are, what they want, and what they value, we can engage/re-engage them! This is at the heart of it!
Beyond this is also truly understanding and addressing what is causing individuals to be disengaged. Far too often we ignore things, let them slide, or brush them under the rug. When we do this, we often perpetuate what is causing individuals to be disengaged. However, when we actually call it out and address it, we flip the script and can bring individuals back from the brink.
