Gebauer and Lowman’s philosophy for employee engagement is aligned with our own philosophy at ConantLeadership that, “To win in the marketplace, you must first win in the workplace.” The way to win on all fronts is by engaging the Heart, Head, and Hands of the people in the organization so that everybody is working towards the goals of the enterprise with great zeal. Gebauer and Lowman’s blueprint for engaging people involves: Know them, Grow them, Inspire them, Involve them, and Reward them. It’s a wonderful platform for thinking about employee engagement. I heartily recommend it.
