What Not To Do
- Do not make assumptions about a disengaged employee's performance. While statistically, such employees do underperform, there can be other reasons too.
- Do not force an employee to be someone they are not. Everyone cannot be happy and optimistic all the time.
- Do not get emotional, and stick to a transactional, formal, work-focused style. Do not expect to win their hearts or influence them by appealing to their emotions.
- Do not assign employees tasks beyond their area of expertise.

What Engaged Employees Do Differently
Behaviors of highly engaged employees
- They do not use their problems as an excuse from mistakes. They don't let the problem affect their ability to perform.
- They know how to take accountability for their actions.
The management and highly-engaged employees
Managers create the conditions that promote the behaviors of engaged employees with the relationships they establish.
- The bosses who individualize create a space for their employees to seek out their strengths and only ask when advice is needed.
- The bosses who generalize will often require constant managerial intervention because they don't foster engagement-creating behavior.
Engagement-oriented questions
Asking engagement oriented questions allows the employee to be able to think for themselves and to examine situations, analyze their own performance and generate great ideas or solutions.
This method is modeled from the Socratic Method that aids in stimulating mindful observation and critical thinking.
For example: "This report has been on your desk for a while now. Are you having trouble getting the information you need to complete it? Do you need help?"
