True Engagement Comes from the Inside
A recent session of the National Academy of Human Resources featured an excellent presentation on employee engagement. A thorough review of best practices was shared.
While all of the suggestions were good ideas, all focused on what the organization could do to get the employees more engaged. No ideas were presented on what the employees could do to engage themselves.
What You Will Learn:
In this fast-paced Webcast, Dr. Marshall Goldsmith, Mark Thompson and Bonita Buell-Thompson will discuss employee engagement from a different perspective.
Together they will outline strategies that individual employees can use to become more engaged and to measure their own increase in engagement. You’ll hear about the good work being done in companies and show how internally-driven engagement can support organizationally-driven engagement.

is an excellent resource for project managers and their teams transitioning to agile methodologies. The authors explain how agile works: how it differs from traditional “plan-driven†methodologies, the benefits it promises, and the real-world results it delivers. They systematically map the Project Management Institute’s classic, methodology-independent techniques and terminology to agile practices and cover both process and project lifecycles and carefully address vital issues ranging from scope and time to cost management and stakeholder communication. They put a human face on the transition to agile–covering the emotional challenges, personal values, and key leadership traits needed to succeed.
