Engagement helps you to win at work
Why engagement helps you to WIN AT WORK without sacrificing your values
My previous post identified 3 dimensions of professional growth that are vital to your professional performance – engagement, meaning and a customer focus.
Remember that engagement at work stems from actively applying your natural talent code at work. Highly engaged workers display more confidence, more intense focus & higher productivity than non or poorly engaged workers. Let’s examine each of those benefits:
Confidence
Success at work breeds confidence. Success comes from engagement with your work. Engagement comes from working on tasks for which you have a natural talent. When you develop that talent code into professional strengths, and have daily opportunities to apply your strengths to produce quality work, your confidence soars and leads to even deeper levels of engagement … an upward spiral of performance and success.
Focus
Maintaining the motivation to stay “on task” and focused is a real challenge to all of us if we are not working in our strength zone AND working on tasks we value. Your values are your inner desires, and one of the keys to motivation. Think back to a time or situation when you felt successful, and were able to maintain focus on your tasks for extended periods of time … I can guarantee that you valued what you were doing, and had a natural aptitude for the skills required to succeed.
Productivity
Peak performance stems from the alignment of the task at hand with your strength zone and your values. We can express that as a simple formula: * strengths + values + aligned task = productivity.
Transform yourself into a valuable employee by applying this formula for professional performance.
