Join the Leadership Qualities Conversation
How can Leaders engage people? Engaged employees commit extra effort to the job—discretionary effort. One factor in engagement is the employees’ expectation that leaders will appraise them honestly.

It’s about letting them know where they stand. It’s about giving people accurate information so they can make informed career decisions.
