ENGAGE! Drawing Out the Best in Others with People Artistry Leadership

Painting is a nail to which I fasten my ideas. Georges Braque

Imagine conducting a survey in which your team was the participant. Only one question is asked: “On a scale from 1-10, rate the level of engagement between you (or the team, in general) and your manager.

Would the majority answer with a 9 or 10? Or, in honesty, would they admit the engagement/relationship between you and the team rank among the lower end?

In 2015, Gallup conducted a poll on employee engagement in the United States and the results were astounding, EMBARRASSING, to say the least. Employee engagement levels in the United States decreased to 31.7% in 2015; furthermore, these rates haven’t been above 38% since 2012.

As leaders, we all know that results are the bottom line for companies; unfortunately, the results from this poll obviously aren’t where they could or SHOULD be. Why? Because while the company’s focus is on employee results, they often overlook the fact that employees are PEOPLE that have feelings and emotions. And when ignored at the workplace, employee engagement levels decrease, resulting in disengagement, lower morale, decreased productivity, and most importantly, a decrease in profits. We are well served to remember that standing below the bottom line is all the people in our organization holding it up.

David Zinger, considered a leading expert in employee engagement, developed the idea of People Artistry Leadership after observing fellow recognition expert and artist, Peter W. Hart, engage with his own employees. Together, they created People Artistry Leadership, a revolutionary new way for leaders to approach and engage employees. People Artistry teaches us how to draw out the best in others at work by using five simple tools that we are already equipped with – our five senses. Seen from this perspective, People Artistry makes very good sense.
