On Sunday evening at 10:00 EST there is a great show on television called "Undercover Boss". CEO's from large corporations are going undercover for one week inside of their companies to find out what's working, what is not working and who their people are. I have seen three shows and as a coach, I want to share how exciting it is to see these CEOs really engaging people. They are hearing stories of personal challenges, challenges of the goings on inside the company and meeting some amazing employees who go the extra mile in their jobs. The CEOs are taking this information back to their executive committees to talk about needed changes and recognition of some folks.
Wouldn't it be less stressful and more motivating for employees to know senior management cares about who they are and how they contribute to the success of the company. Engaging people to find out better ways to be processing the work and improving systems creates a culture of pride, responsibility, contribution and success.
Hopefully this new awareness will mainstream to more and more companies wanting to explore how they can be better by engaging their workforce. Less Ego and more flexibility and open communication.
