1
Engaged employees work with
passion and feel a profound
connection to their company.
They drive innovation and move the
organization forward.
2
Not Engaged employees are
essentially “checked out.” They’re
sleepwalking through their workday,
putting time — but not energy or passion —
into their work.
3
Actively Disengaged employees
aren’t just unhappy at work; they’re
busy acting out their unhappiness.
Every day, these workers undermine what
their engaged coworkers accomplish.
12. “When it comes to the future, there are three kinds of
people: those who let it happen, those who make it
happen, and those who wonder what happened.”
