Elizabeth Harrin discusses four key drivers for engaging your team in the workplace you manage. The four drivers are making sure your team feels empowered, giving them the tools they need to do the job, recognizing individuals for their contributions in team projects, and making sure all workers know beforehand what is expected of them.
Key Takeaways:
- Delegate. Let the people doing the work do the work. That’s the easiest way of making people feel empowered.
- Don’t let lack of tools be the reason team members fail to deliver
- In my opinion, this is the thing that most undermines team engagement. If people don’t know what you want them to do, they can’t possibly do it.
“The trouble with command and control is that you get project information that is untrustworthy, and you create an overly structured work environment that people don’t like.”
