Engaging Employees Starts with Remembering What Your Company Stands For

Harvard Business Review: “Only when employees are engaged with the brand will they think and act in the specific ways that produce the specific results the company is seeking.

Reflektive: “In my observation of many leaders I’ve collaborated with over the years, there are three key attributes that I believe the top, most admired leaders embody to inspire and scale employee growth and leadership.

Say it So They Remember and Believe It

Say It Better: “As adults, we tend to lose our “picture-making” way of speaking. We forgot to tell the story that tells the story.
