Chapter 7: Dumping Doubt and Boosting Confidence

In this episode from Pamela Hackett's book Manage to Engage, our hosts discuss how Hackett emphasizes the crucial role of employee confidence in achieving high performance and engagement. Her book argues that lack of confidence, stemming from doubts about leadership, the organization, or one's own abilities, severely hinders productivity and morale. It explores how poor leadership communication and a lack of transparency fuel these doubts, proposing solutions such as increased visibility, effective communication strategies, including visual tools, and real-time data sharing to build confidence. Hackett uses case studies and practical advice to illustrate how fostering employee confidence leads to improved results and a more engaged workforce. Finally, she suggests simple methods for measuring and improving confidence levels within organizations.You can learn more in the book published by Wiley: Checking in is not about checking up. 1.5.30 Connect encourages you to prioritize people in your day and check in routinely.
