More Research Supports LEADING PEOPLE THE BLACK BELT WAY...

A new survey from Salary.com suggests that workers who are emotionally disengaged from their work are less productive. Which is exactly the point I made in my first book LEADING PEOPLE THE BLACK BELT WAY (the research in support of this point was overwhelming when LEADING PEOPLE was published ... and continues to grow.

The survey, as reported in Reuters, found:

"... about six in every 10 workers admit to wasting time at work with the average employee wasting 1.7 hours of a typical 8.5 hour working day.

it then went on to say:

The reasons why people wasted time were varied with nearly 18 percent of respondents questioned by e-mail in June and July said boredom and not having enough to do was the main reason.

The second most popular reason for wasting time was having too long hours (13.9 percent), being underpaid (11.8 percent), and a lack of challenging work (11.1 percent).

Leaders who are serious about building their bottom line will take note: emotional engaged employees are always better for the bottom line. Always.

As a leader, what have you done today to build emotional engagement?
