"Since an employee is engaged or disengaged based on the culture of the organization, leaders must build a culture to overcome employee disengagement. Engaged Leaders shows readers how to build that culture by breaking down the art of effective leadership into three primary areas that all leaders must master in order to inspire and engage their employees: directional leadership, which builds a consensus for the vision; motivational leadership, which inspires people to pursue the vision; and organizational leadership, which develops the team to realize the vision." |
