Let’s Get Engaged!

I’m Agent in Engagement Simpson…Gregory Simpson.

As an Agent in Engagement, my mission is to relieve the world of bad and ineffective managers.  I help companies and their employees succeed by focusing on how frontline and middle managers engage, manage, and develop their direct reports.

After years in the field, the consulting field, where I was honored for my employee engagement achievements with Fortune 150 clients, I’m looking forward to returning to headquarters where I’ll continue to pursue my directive to improve employee engagement.

 

I’m excited about this opportunity to connect with fellow “Agents.” Subscribe to the RSS Feed to receive the latest updates and/or register  to comment on posts.
