A survey was conducted with participants in two March webinars conducted by Martha. She was introducing the book she and Thad co-authored, INSPIRING WOMEN . . . BECOMING Courageous, Wise Leaders.
In pre-webinar surveys, participants were asked to select their biggest leadership challenge today. Here are the results.
Biggest Leadership Challenge - Survey Results
These results tell only part of the story. Here’s more.
Participants also could ask questions in advance that would be answered during the webinar. As you would expect, the most frequently asked questions were about engagement. Here is one of them along with our response.
How can you inspire employees to be highly engaged and highly focused on performance? We always say you have to ask each person what it will take! They will tell you and you will know what to do. Our mantra is “IF YOU WANT TO KNOW, ASK!” Of course, be prepared to listen and take note of what they want and need to be engaged, focused on performance, successful. Based on what they say, you may be able to respond immediately, or not. For example, “I need you to give me more feedback on my performance.” This you can do. “I need more resources to meet your expectations.” This may require more discussion. You get the drift.
IF YOU WANT TO KNOW, ASK! Give it a try.
You can also ask us for more information about employee motivation programs, improving employee morale, leadership consulting, and leadership coaching Atlanta.
All the best to your success,
Martha Forlines & Thad Green
