Employee Un-Engagement: A Global Phenomenon that Can Be Fixed
Michael Hyter is the newest interview in Fast Company's Recovering Leader series, dedicated to exploring what leaders can expect of their would-be followers as opportunities open up in the nascent recovery. Mike is president of Novations, a Boston-based consulting firm focused on developing effective leaders throughout a globally diverse workforce.
Do your employees really believe that their leadership truly values them? How can a leader tell? What will flagging loyalty mean in the coming upswing? What can a leader at risk of losing followers do to change things for the better?
These are some of the questions that I posed to Michael Hyter, president of Novations, a leadership development firm based in Boston, MA with a worldwide practice in engaging the growth needs of the world's diverse workforces. He is also co-author of The Power of Inclusion , an excellent book on that same topic. Mike was just putting down his bags from a six-week swing through Asia, Australia, Africa and the UK when I cornered him. The purpose of his trip: to see how the five generations in workplaces around the globe are feeling these days about where they work, and about how their purported leaders are treating them.
