Why you should read The Art of Engagement
Organizational
leaders spend considerable time and effort carefully developing strategies to advance their corporate goals. However, they often fail to communicate these
strategies compellingly to their employees – the people who must execute every step. Therefore, it is no surprise that most such strategies fail.
Management consultant Jim Haudan recommends a strategy-sharing approach using visuals, metaphors and stories to engage employees. He offers tactics for
getting them on board to execute your strategy and organizational directives. One negative: Many of the illustrations (reductions from original table-size
artwork) are busy and even fuzzy. Some feature tiny text, which illustrates – in the breech – Haudan's point about using clear visuals to communicate
and engage. Otherwise the book is superior, very insightful and nicely written. Haudan uses case studies to demonstrate the effectiveness of his employee
engagement process. getAbstract believes leaders can benefit from learning his tactics for communicating strategies so employees understand them, support
them and actually implement them.
