Many supervisors, managers and team leaders bemoan the fact that their team is not totally engaged with what he or she is trying to achieve. Is it poor communication on the boss's part? Lack of direction? Lack or little motivation from the team members?A recent survey by the Corporate Leadership Council reported that from a study of 50,000 employees worldwide, only 11% reported that they felt fully engaged in their current work, 76% felt neither engaged nor disengaged and 13% felt fully disengaged.Where do your team members stand?* Fully engaged?* Neither engaged nor disengaged?* Disengaged?Before you answer that, or perhaps start putting the names of some of your team members into the three categories, it is worthwhile revisiting the definition of the word "engagement".Engagement:1.

The vast red and blue oceans of the marketing world tsunamied into our awareness and vocabulary a few years ago, when two INSEAD professors, W.Chan Kim and Rene Mauborgne, claimed that competition can be rendered irrelevant.Their book, Blue Ocean Strategy, heralded the news to marketing managers and CEOs all over the world: after years and years of surviving in red bloody oceans, swarming with murderous competitors, finally there's a better alternative! In red oceans, executives captivated in a conception-cage of competitive strategy business thinking, have been rivaling head to head with their competition over the same consumer segments doing exactly the same things, only better and cheaper in order to offer customers a better cost/value tradeoff in order to convince them to stick around with their wallets open. In the process, these executives wore out their own companies and their profits were ground to dust. Now, the Blue Ocean enunciation, based on long years of research, claimed that both serenity and profitability can be amply found in Value Innovation, which creates, via a new business model and new products, a "Virgin territory devoid of me-too brand propositions and...more
