Imagine that you are on a whitewater rafting trip and coming into a big rapids your guide hollers >>>>>

Everybody

paddle!

And this guy in

the back of the

boat shouts

What do you do?

That’s right – you throw him out of

the boat!

Because if you don’t

When you’re in the middle of the rapids, it

doesn’t matter what your nametag says

Not my job

You grab your paddle and do your part!

We are in economic class 5 rapids

This little boat is you

And you cannot

afford to have people

like this!

Culture Assessment Surveys conducted by Values Coach

illustrate an unfortunate level of toxic emotional

negativity in the workplace

Other companies that study employee

engagement* consistently find:

~ 25% fully engaged

~ 60% not engaged

~ 15% aggressively disengaged

* e.g. Gallup, Avatar, Modern Survey, Press Ganey

Engaged: Spark PlugsSpark Plugs think like owners, like partners in the enterprise

19

No one has tell an owner to mow the lawn

Not Engaged: ZombiesRenting a spot on the

organization chart

21

Renters don’t mow the lawn or care for the place

Disengaged: VampiresSquatters

23

Squatters trash the place, and get paid for doing it

Disengaged people, especially disengaged managers, are a quality defect

Disengagement hurts everything…

Innovation suffers

Productivity suffers

Service suffers

Safety suffers

Gallup CEO Jim Clifton says employee disengagement costs our economy half a trillion (that’s trillion with a T!!!) every year!

Values Coach surveys show that the cost of toxic emotional negativity ranges from hundreds of thousands to hundreds of millions of dollars per year!

But what’s more tragic...

Life-diminishing impact on the disengaged.

“Disengagement [is] one of the chief causes of underachievement and depression.”

Edward M. Hallowell, M.D. in HBR, 12-10
