Care is Contagious

At the very sad and pitiful end of the wrong side of the engagement scale is active disengagement.

And when employees stop caring about what’s going on at work, they’re only a few bad interactions away from being so disengaged that they actively work to disengage everybody else.

So how do you get them to give a damn again?

By showing that you give a damn.

That’s it. No list. No steps. No training. No $75,000, six-month-long culture improvement consultation needed.

Just show that you care. You already know how to do that. Because you’re an employee too, and you know how it feels when your own boss does that to you.

So do that for others. And often.
