Being a part of a team going after shared goals and mutually respecting and supporting each other regardless of whether the team members are co-located or remote are the keys to engagement and team cohesiveness. Great video and great research. However, the challenge is to create such teams that nurture"Barbaras" and that is the primary work of a leader. Thanks for sharing this video and the research,

It is necessary to arouse the energy that is the person. The design of the objective to be achieved plays a role here, since the objective may be such that it organizes the available energies.

I have to agree with you mafriend
I was expecting more details about specific mindset and behavior from barbara
I mean... if i somehow have the certainty to have access to the most engaged employee in the planet, I would make a complete intrusive and invasive interview to take as much information as possible, so further on I could covert the answers in a set of procedures to give to the audience
