Admitting one’s limits actually helps build engagement.<\/span><\/p>\n

A perspective on front-line engagement from Japan | Opensource.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Armed with what they’ve learned at these parties, these inexperienced (but smart) managers begin finding ways they can be helpful. Rather than just announce a plan to make changes, they spend time trying to understand what their employees <\/span>need<\/i>to have changed.<\/span><\/p>\n
