This very factor is something I consider a core failing in many workplaces. Check out the video below, which I’ve linked to before.

I really do appreciate them. Your video was great, and I really think it would be valuable to get it out and about and in the minds of managers everywhere. And, yes - FISH! is a great book.

While issues like engagement aren't my bread and butter, as you can probably tell from looking around acidlabs, I consider them a critical factor when I discuss issues like knowledge retention and the right tools and culture for equipping knowledge workers to do their jobs well.Thanks so much for visiting.
