I am loving the opportunity to slow down and savor these posts. I hope you are, too.

Read thoughts on this topic from Benjamin McCall in his post “The Power in a ‘Non-Commissioned’ Work,” posted at ReThinkHR.
Without a focus on achieving results employee engagement is reduced to a fluffy extra resembling an inane YouTube Happy Dance! Learn the “12 Keys to Achieve Results with Employee Engagement,” from David Zinger, posted at Employee Engagement Zingers.
To finish of today’s carnival, we have a post that resonates well with us here at the Kevin Eikenberry Group because it relates to Kevin’s book release earlier this year, From Bud to Boss.
Dana Theus explores the question “How do we help people get promoted and survive when they do?” Dana writes about the 3 skills that are always on her go-to list in helping people step up to the perspective of leadership.
