Because of the topic of employee engagement, I am going to take a different, but related, approach this month.  As I dug into the results of the Gallup employee engagement research, I wanted to know more about the dimensions behind the survey.  The summary of "12 – The Elements of Great Managing" by Kent Blumberg is what I found and am recommending to you. 

In all, there are 12 elements of engagement that Gallup identifies as being critical to measurable employee engagement.  Any time you can create an objective set of metrics that help you predict behavior it creates a distinct advantage to those who use this research in their business.

What I like about these 12 elements of engagement is the ability for leaders to put themselves into the elements of engagement and ask themselves, do I do that?  If so, how often and do I do it consistently?  If not, why don’t I?  What is the impact of me not doing the actions supported by the elements of engagement?  A leader can quickly assess whether they are actively supporting their team and developing the members of the team.  Leaders can quickly see if they are the reason they are not getting 100% out of 100%
