Introduction to Manage to Engage. People Matter: We need a healthier way of working

We kick off our dive into Pamela Hackett's "Manage to Engage" by examining the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on workplaces and Hackett's proposal for a new approach to employee engagement. As a CEO whose company faced significant challenges during the pandemic, she argues that fostering engagement is crucial for business success and outlines a framework ("2 Fs and 7 Cs") with accompanying tools explored later in the book (i.e. HeadsUp, 1.5.30) to improve workplace culture and boost employee performance. The book emphasizes building leadership capability, prioritizing human connection, and creating a sense of community to cultivate a highly engaged workforce. Hackett contends that this approach is not merely a response to the pandemic but a necessary transformation for long-term organizational success. You can learn more in the book published by Wiley: 2 Fs and 7 Cs (Fair trade, Freedom, Cause, Clean and meaningful infrastructure, Confidence, Connection, Collaboration, Community, and Capability). These are the basis of a new engagement scorecard. We hope you enjoyed this free learning experience.
