235 - Want engaged employees? You need to meet "Basic Human Needs"
The Gallup Q12, as it’s commonly called, is a set of 12 questions designed to measure employee engagement. Not satisfaction. Engagement. Why is that distinction important? Because satisfaction is surface-level-think free snacks in the breakroom-but engagement digs deeper. It’s about your team’s emotional connection to their work and their belief in the purpose of what they’re doing.
These questions came from years of research by Gallup, particularly detailed in their book "First, Break All the Rules" by Marcus Buckingham and Curt Coffman, which examines what makes employees thrive. And guess what? Engaged employees don’t just work harder-they work smarter, stay longer and bring their A-game to your organization every day.
Part 2, "Meeting Basic Human Needs" - Questions 3 to 7:
3. At work, do I have the opportunity to do what I do best every day?
4. In the last seven days, have I received recognition or praise for doing good work?
5. Does my supervisor, or someone at work, seem to care about me as a person?
6. Is there someone at work who encourages my development?
7. At work, do my opinions seem to count?

Yet, nowhere can you find Gallup citing metrics for companies using the Q12. Gallup's success results from brand recognition without citing metrics. Imagine you've completed the Q12 and now have the anonymous results. What are you going to do with the results, and who is going to act on them? Here's the problem: The leadership that created the culture remains, and HRl, the Q12 sponsor, has no authority to force change on disinterested leadership. Gallup's ubiquitous "21% more profitable" is never mentioned. Safety, turnover, attendance, and all the other usual benefits come nowhere near delivering a noticeable change in the income statement. You mentioned pedaling a bike up a hill versus coasting downhill. That's the problem HR faces. Here's an answer that has worked for 25 years. Sell the outcome to the CEO, say a 10% reduction in operating expenses, using only a single survey question from the CEO and a third party reporting the CEO who collects the data and fights the culture gauntlet challenging blockers up the CEO's staff meeting. Not one blocker has fought to that level in 25 years. Here's an example of a ten-week initiative, their stock was $18 and recently breached $100. This is based on a single question: employees recognized that things like sacred cows are eliminated daily for ten weeks. The Q12 doesn't identify the bullshit ( thousands of employees use the term), bullies, and stupid policies that interfere with engagement. If the Q12 worked meaningfully, CEOs and their boards would sponsor it. Cheers, Jim Smith chiefexecutive.net/employee-engagement-ceos-actually-listening/
When Google gave you the number of hits delivered, the definition of employee engagement was over a hundred million. Who believes Gallup has the right one? Search the internet and try to find a single example of the Q12 improving earnings, margins, sales, or stock appreciation, there are none. If you took a random list of the Fortune 1000 companies and sorted them by profit, Gallup's 23% more profitable would show up; what does that prove, other than companies with better leadership, better products/services, and better sales tend to have higher employee engagement. Imagine you have the results from the Q12; they are presented in three columns. On the left are the Q12 questions; the center column has the number of yeses for each, and the third column shows the corresponding nos. What do you do with all these anonymous yesses and nos? Whatever the culture was before the survey, the same culture is still present to interfere with the survey results. There has to be a reason why no meaningful Q12 results are available. Rest assured that if CEOs thought they could improve their profits using the Q12, they and their boards would be all over EE/EX.
Whew. I remember the dire state of the orphanages in Kazakhstan in the 90s. Lack of food was real. Utility outages. It was rough.
Fun talk. The intro is goofy, which makes the talk about dignity more memorable
There is a little cognitive dissonance between the opening and topic. Thank you for noticing!

Hmm, how does the word Gemba fit in here?
I believe that Gemba would be the place to visit if you were going to the source.

Wow, you put out many things without take off of the channel. Take it or leave it: 1. I liked your method and it sounds plausible. 2. There is too much empty content. 3. If you would make a short where you just say the full method with some bullet points (let them talk and ask driving questions - then say that you would feel the XYZ emotion if that happened to you) I think you would be more successful. Good luck.
Great feedback. Thank you!
Why would anyone work to further an organization that has no loyalty to them? Give the company exactly what they pay for and nothing more and reserve your passion for yourself, friends and family.
If you work for a company that is not loyal to their people your strategy is the right one. If you work for a company that rewards loyalty and passion your approach will make you an outlier.
Bully people never gets good results. Ai is smart enough to know that.

I love the scaffolding analogy… Robert Mager does a great job of illustrating the “Knowing” and “Doing” problems in his book Analyzing Performance Problems.
Yes! That is a powerful analogy. It is important to ask yourself, "How can I build scaffolding around my team members to support them?"
These two guys are special… I love the way Mark and Mike sync and contrast each other.
