Leaders can engage employees more effectively by creating a culture of shared ownership, according to Gallup.
The trick to engagement: Leaders can gain employee buy-in by valuing and responding to employee input, delegating decision-making when appropriate and providing employees at all levels with insight into company strategy, performance and achievements.
The benefits: Focusing on building relationships between leaders and employees helps employees feel a sense of connection to the company’s success. This leads to enthusiasm and commitment, resulting not only in higher retention rates, but more successful recruitment
