As a team leader, it is important to be aware of what drives engagement and motivates your employees and teammates.
Most leaders are familiar with the 2013 Gallup poll that suggested “70% of American workers are ‘not engaged’ or ‘actively disengaged’ and are emotionally disconnected from their workplaces and less likely to be productive.”
Employee engagement has a tremendous impact on productivity, and there are a number of factors that contribute to your people feeling connected to a compelling common goal and to other people in your organization.

Engaged employees see themselves as a small and important part of something larger than themselves.
