Why? Because few could have anticipated the unbending nature of what Brady G. Wilson calls \"the engagement paradox\" \u003ci\u003ethe more companies focus on engagement, the more disengagement they produce.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e What causes this paradox? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e As shown in this clear, concise, and compelling book, it is simply this: managing engagement turns out to be just another drain on the most precious resource in business today -- energy. In today's exhaustion era, employees are simply struggling to make it to the weekend. Lacking energy, they resort to quick fixes, workarounds, and reactive firefighting, thereby hardwiring depletion into the system. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e As a result, employees come to perceive engagement efforts as a management con game. A high percentage of the employee population believe no meaningful outcomes will occur as a result of the engagement survey. And this crisis of belief causes acute pain inside well-intentioned leaders who are doing their best to unlock employee engagement. They feel caught. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Now \u003ci\u003eBeyond Engagement\u003c\/i\u003e shows how to get beyond this kind of self-defeating engagement: by managing energy rather than engagement. The book offers a chapter each to ten leadership principles based on the findings of brain science: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 1 Manage Energy, Not Engagement\u003cbr\u003e 2 Deliver Experiences, Not Promises\u003cbr\u003e 3 Target Emotion, Not Logic\u003cbr\u003e 4 Trust Conversations, Not Surveys\u003cbr\u003e 5 Seek Tension, Not Harmony\u003cbr\u003e 6 Practice Partnering, Not Parenting\u003cbr\u003e 7 Pull Out the Backstory, Not the Action Plan\u003cbr\u003e 8 Think Sticks, Not Carrots\u003cbr\u003e 9 Meet Needs, Not Scores\u003cbr\u003e 10 Challenge Beliefs, Not Emotions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brady G.
