Don’t let the disengaged create your culture

The best laid plans of mice, men . . . and CEO's are minced meat against a "can't do, won't do" culture.

Having a high-performing business culture is a competitive advantage today. Most companies expect every employee to be an engaged contributor because every employee, through his or her actions, either makes the culture stronger or weakens it. And employees, in turn, want to be proud of their organizations and local teams. More importantly, it’s hard to create passionate, engaged customers without passionate, engaged employees.

What's the solution to keep the disengaged from impeding your company's success? It's simple, but it's not easy:

1. Quarantine the "can't do, won't do" people away from everyone else

2. Focus and gather the "can do, will do" people

3. Give them a vision that makes sense, feels right and is doable

4. Provide them with the skills and tools to turn that vision into a reality

5. Get out of their way

6. Watch them exceed the goal and turbo charge your company

7. Then watch the disengaged put up, shut up or leave
