What is engagement and why it’s important.
Key characteristics of an engaged culture.

39. Leadership Feedback: What
employees want to tell you…but
don’t!
The best assessment of your
leadership comes from
those you lead.
It's true; most leaders live in a vacuum. They
don't receive much feedback from the people
they lead. In fact, they often have no idea
how good--or bad--their leadership really is.
"Leadership Feedback" is an entertaining
and thought provoking video training
program that provides the kind of honest
feedback leaders don't normally hear.
