Start Worrying About "Not Engaged" Employees

Half of your workforce may be "checked out." Here's how great managers inspire, refocus, and re-engage these low-performing employees.

A GMJ Q&A with Curt Coffman
Coauthor of First, Break All the Rules (Simon & Schuster, 1999) and Follow This Path (Warner Books, 2002)
More than half of your employees may not be engaged with their work. That should be more alarming to you right now than plummeting stock prices or accounting scandals. But, unlike the stock market, you can actually do something about non-engaged workers. Workplace expert Curt Coffman tells how the world's greatest managers refocus and re-engage low-performing employees.
Curt Coffman, a former Global Practice Leader with Gallup, is coauthor of Gallup's best-selling book on great managers, First, Break All the Rules: What the World's Greatest Managers Do Differently (Simon and Schuster, 1999). Coffman's latest book is Follow This Path: How the World's Greatest Organizations Drive Growth by Unleashing Human Potential (Warner Books, 2002).
