Over the course of the next seven blog posts, I’ll be explaining the Seven Dimensions of Employee Engagement as featured in my new book The Why of Work: How Great Leaders Build Abundant Organizations That Win. Let’s start with a quick overview:
1. Build on strengths that strengthen others. People who identified and then used their strengths (values, skills, personal traits) in new and creative ways experienced an increased sense of well-being. A variety of lists can help us identify our personal strengths. Then how can you develop creative ways to use them to strengthen others, contributing to your sense of meaning?
2. Determine the directions that matter most to you. Four purposes that capture a lot of what motivates us are Achievement, Insight, Connection, and Empowerment. What is the balance among these motivations that feels most meaningful to you? How can a good work team find the right balance to meet its strategic objectives?
