Employees who are involved without a leader such as energy involved is immaterial. Einstein once said that “everything that is important is energy.” A recent study by IPEC (Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching) link higher energy level executives to a higher level of involvement. In this study, the leaders with a higher energy level was found to be more involved by a factor of nearly FOUR!

Initiatives to increase employee involvement might miss them if it’s not top-down effort.

Managers are very involved was 59% more likely to be involved than those supervised by managers with below-average engagement “and energy (my additional comments).

Given the research by IPEC, the first place to start would then be to assess the level of involvement and energy executive team BEFORE launched an employee engagement initiative.
