Thanks for sharing. <BR/><BR/>Though it's dangerous to pick apart a talk that only appears in snippets in a magazine article, my reaction to his argument is similar to yours: I think it's flawed. <BR/><BR/>For example, consider these two statements:<BR/><BR/>- "But there is no evidence that engaging employees impacts financial returns."<BR/><BR/>- "You want people who are excited, enthused, and understand how to contribute to what you do, as opposed to those who simply want to find a good place to hide out."<BR/><BR/>Both are statements about engaged workforces. One says there is no evidence to support investing in one. The second says that that's what you should want.<BR/><BR/>Yes, my crap-detector is sensing a whiff of something smelly here. You may be right that this was more of a consultant's sales pitch than otherwise. <BR/> <BR/>TerryTerrence Seamonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03474689673406427999noreply@blogger.com
