Employees who are highly engaged are committed to their work and see themselves as helping âbuild a cathedral.â Disengaged employees have essentially checked outâthey are merely âlaying bricksâ for a paycheck, not building a cathedral. â¯According to the Gallup report of 2013, only about 30% of the American workforce was âengaged,â and international data showed essentially the same results. In 2019, Gallup found that engagement had risen somewhat since 2013. (Both reports are in the attachments) With this in mind, address these questions:â¯
What is the impact of âengagedâ versus âdisengagedâ employees on a companyâs profits? For the purposes of this assignment, treat âengagedâ as if it means the same thing as âinwardly committed to the good of the business.â (You can ignore whether or not they participate in company bowling or softball leagues.) Why do you believe this?
Using Lewinâs 3-Stage Model, how would you re-engage disengaged employees at every level in the organization? What conditions need to be in place in order to accomplish this? How would you make sure that their engagement results in a measurable increase in the productive effort? (See Lessons 7 and 8 in attachments)
How would you use Druckerâs Management by Objectives, combined with Lewinâs 3-Stage Model, to secure the commitment of all employees, at every level of an organization (all the way to the bottom)? (See Lesson 1)
What can leaders do to preserve this commitment once it is attained? Is there a specific style of leadership that you believe would best serve this purpose? Why? How is EQ related to this style?

It's a formal academic paper that must include an introduction and a conclusion.

Don't just summarize the materials you got from your research. Explain why you believe it to be true--or not true. To do that, you can use theoretical arguments, or you can use examples from your personal work experience, or you can build your own examples, which, of course, must be based on realistic and clear assumptions.
