The Secret of Personal and Organisational Alignment

Employee ownership strengthens an employee’s sense of purpose and thereby changes their attitude, but it also helps break the tradition of looking at people purely as a cost and so reinforces the sense of autonomy that builds a virtuous cycle that perpetuates and solidifies the organisational alignment and hence the organisational integrity. Why would you not want to consider this – especially when you can do it at virtually no cost to either individual or organisation? It offers a better employee engagement remedy than anything else in the market.

The Essence of Employee Engagement: What it takes – and delivers

Now you can understand why employee engagement is not an airy-fairy, feel-good concept that HR is trying to foist upon you, but an essential part of business and something that you are – or should be – doing as an integral part of leading your organisation. This is where engagement and success come together. Without employee engagement your success will always be limited.

It’s about people management – not talent management!

To function effectively and sustain success any business, regardless of its type, has to be more organic: to operate more as an organism than an organisation. This means you have to create an environment where everyone works together to meet the organisational purpose.The collective capability is what creates the precision that powers and propels performance and sustains success.

Leadership made easy

The leader leads and the boss drives. Employee ownership links the life-investment your people are making in your organisation with a sense of shared purpose. It serves as a catalyst to create the autonomy, mastery and purpose that will deliver the well-being and emotional equity to secure employee engagement and sustain better performance and better results. It will thus enable you to stop driving and lead more effectively.
