More Insight on Employee Engagement (or not)
Yesterday we looked at Sam Parker’s terms for two categories of disengaged workers:
1. D- Grunts: disgruntled people
2. Gomos: people who go through the motions
I enjoyed the wisdom in his characterizations and hope you did too!
Today, let’s look at some additional characterizations from Mr. Parker:
- Smover: Smile and move!
o Rock the world. Be a smover. It’s all about attitude and leading by example.
- 212ers: Aware and Responsible!
The Extra Degree…
o At 211 degrees, water is hot.
o At 212 degrees, it boils.
o One degree more equals Exponential Results!!
- Smovish Principle:
o The ability to bounce back, or resilience
Hats off to Sam Parker and his creative, delightful, and instructional way of looking at employee engagement (or not!)
