Sean Glaze defines engagement as how much people care about the results their efforts contribute to. He argues that connecting individual work to meaningful impact is what actually drives engagement on a team.
I mentioned to you what culture was earlier. Culture is the repeated behaviors, right? Engagement's another one of those terms that becomes kind of nebulous. Love to give you a definition that you can take home for engagement. Engagement is very simply how much people care about the results their efforts contribute to. And if people don't see where their efforts are contributing to something meaningful, they're gonna stop treading water. But if you can connect those dots for yourself first, if you can connect those dots for the people that you depend on to give their effort, and you can help them see how what they do ultimately has an unbelievable meaningful impact on someone that they care about, that creates engagement.
