1 QuickView Leadership Series Helping you navigate the leadership landscape Employee Engagement: Has It Been a Bull Market? by Jennifer J. Deal, Ph.D., Sarah Stawiski, Ph.D., and William A. Gentry, Ph.D. Issued July 2010 A Center for Creative Leadership Report sponsored by Booz Allen Hamilton
3 Employee Engagement: Has It Been a Bull Market? Leaders have been concerned about employee engagement 1 during the recession and for good reason. Mass layoffs, pay freezes, furloughs, cuts in benefits, fewer people to do the work, and general instability all seem likely to make people less engaged in their work, as well as less happy overall. Leaders acting on this typical assumption may be missing the true engagement challenge that is coming in the years ahead. The Center for Creative Leadership (CCL ) finds that declining employee engagement has been less of an issue than expected over the past two years. 2 Data from CCL s World Leadership Survey show that employee engagement actually increased when the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) was down 3 and layoffs were up. 4 (Yes, you read that correctly.) What the Data Tell Us In Figure 1, we see the trend of employee engagement plotted alongside several economic indicators the DJIA, layoffs, and the unemployment rate over the course of the last eight quarters. Figure 1 Employee Engagement and Economic Conditions, Standardized Scores DJIA Employee Engagement Unemployment Mass Layoffs Q1 FY 2008 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 FY 2009 Fiscal Year Q2 Q3 Q4 1 Engagement in this report is defined as satisfaction with job and commitment to the organization. 2 Our data show that, from a statistical perspective, engagement has changed very little over the past eight quarters. The only statistically significant difference detected was between Q and Q (when the Dow Jones Industrial Average [DJIA] was at its lowest point and engagement was at its highest). 3 Quarterly averages provided by Barron s 4 Unemployment and layoffs provided by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). According to BLS, mass layoffs is the number of separations (separating a person from a job) resulting from layoffs of at least 31 days in duration that involve 50 or more individuals from a single employer filing initial claims for unemployment insurance during a consecutive 5-week period. 5 All indicators were calculated to z scores, a common way of standardizing data so that data from more than one scale can be compared. 1
4 Figure 1 highlights several important findings: 1) American workers were actually more engaged at the peak of the economic crisis (see Q1 2009) than they were before it began (see Q1 2008). 2) American workers are as engaged in their work now as they were at the beginning of ) The pattern of engagement is the reverse of the pattern of key economic indicators. 6 As the DJIA was falling, engagement was on the rise. In the same quarter that the DJIA reached a two-year low, engagement reached a two-year high. 4) The pattern of engagement most closely resembles the pattern of mass layoffs; that is, the more layoffs occurring throughout the workforce, the more engaged people became in their own work. These findings are consistent with data collected over the past two years (Q Q4 2009) showing that employed people have actually reported higher levels of overall well-being during the depths of the recession than they did before it started. 7 But Doesn t Work Engagement Decrease During Difficult Economic Conditions? People may think so, but the World Leadership Survey data show that this assumption is not always accurate. So, why would engagement rise as the economy weakens? One explanation may be the effect of employees perceived job mobility. When people believe they have a choice among many employment options, they may feel less committed to and satisfied with their current position. This explanation is consistent with a finding in psychology that is sometimes referred to as the paradox of choice. For example, one classic study found that people were actually more satisfied with a chocolate product when they had fewer options to choose from. 8 What happens is that people end up liking their choice less when they must choose among a number of options because the variety they are exposed to highlights what they are not going to get from their choice (since one option does not have everything). In contrast to this, people who had fewer options were happier with their choice because they did not spend a lot of time thinking about everything they did not get. Similarly, people who do not think they have a lot of job options may focus more on what their current position offers, rather than on what they are not getting that other positions might give them. Also, when the economy is bad, people may be fearful or uncertain about keeping their jobs and may work harder to keep them. Psychology tells us that we sometimes change our attitudes to accommodate our behaviors (for example, "I must be working late every night because I really love my job"). The Bottom Line The issue businesses face now is not what to do to bring engagement back up it is what to do to keep engagement high and to retain those key employees who are likely to think about leaving as the economy and job market improve. The Retention Challenge Looking at World Leadership Survey data from Q (October December), 15 percent of respondents agreed or strongly agreed that they would be looking for a new job in the near future, with another 26 percent indicating that they were neutral. Therefore, more than 40 percent of the sampled workforce is unsure about whether to remain in their current job. We know that employees who are less engaged are more likely to think about leaving the organization. 9 We predict that organizations seeing a decrease in engagement are likely to have more issues with people voluntarily leaving the The issue businesses face now is not what to do to bring engagement back up it is what to do to keep engagement high 6 The correlation coefficient for the monthly averages of employee engagement and the DJIA is -.357, which is a moderate, negative correlation according to Cohen s classification (a commonly used rule of thumb in the social sciences). 7 Gallup Healthways Study: 8 Iyengar, S.S. and Lepper, M.R.

5 organization for more attractive opportunities. Therefore, the companies that keep their employees engaged will be more likely to retain their best talent in the coming months. How to Keep Engagement High There are many strategies companies can utilize to keep their best employees engaged and motivated to stick around even as the economy recovers and the grass starts looking greener elsewhere. Obviously, fair and comparable pay structures and other attractive benefit packages need to be in place. Further, providing employees with the tools and resources they need to accomplish their job effectively can go a long way in keeping employees committed to the organization. Employees also want to continue learning; an organization is likely to lose its best people if it does not provide adequate (in the employee s opinion) opportunities for development, learning, and advancement. 10 In addition, the work itself particularly affects engagement; research supports the idea that work that provides variety, challenge, and autonomy nurtures engagement. 11 It s All About the Leaders Although all of the strategies discussed above are important, we know that engaging and retaining employees is really about how good leaders are. And we are not just talking about the strategic visioning done at the top level of an organization we are talking about how good leaders are at all levels. We all know from personal experience how critical a good boss is, and plenty of evidence shows that people leave jobs because of their bosses more than because of the organization itself. 12 In Figure 2, we see just how powerful a supportive manager can be. Figure 2 shows the percentage of employees who agree or strongly agree with the statement that they will be with the organization in one year as a function of how much they agree that their manager cares about them. We see that intention to stay at the current organization is dramatically higher for employees who strongly agree that their managers care (94 percent intend to stay) than it is for those who strongly disagree that their managers care (43 percent intend to stay). Figure 2 Effect of Manager Support on Intentions to Stay % who agree or strongly agree they will be with organization in 1 year % 94% 69% 54% 43% Strongly Disagree Disagree Neutral Agree Strongly Agree My Manager Really Cares About My Well-Being 10 Gentry, W.

6 So, if it is truly important for an organization to keep engagement high and retain the employees it wants, the most efficient way to do that is to improve the quality of the managers at every level in the organization. Because it is unlikely organizations will actually remove less effective managers (and even if they could be removed, what is the likelihood they would be replaced by someone far superior?), organizations need to think about how to improve the quality of the managers in place. It would be nice to think that a decree from top leadership on how everyone needs to be a good boss would solve the problem. But that is not going to have the impact necessary to really increase engagement and keep talented people from exiting. To keep engagement high, organizations need to focus on helping each and every manager at each and every level learn how to be a good coach, give effective feedback, and provide enough direction without micromanaging. Those are skills that leaders can and need to learn at every level. The economy will rise and fall, but good leaders at all levels are what keep an organization at the top. 4

Cool Hunting Capsule Video: Scion iQ
Engineering smallness: our video on the latest micro-subcompact to hit the U.S.
by Cool Hunting Video
on 30 August 2011
Our latest video takes a closer look at Scion's new U.S. model, the iQ. We had the chance to check out this tiny car when the brand invited us to Manhattan Beach, CA, finding that when it comes to size and price, it's a nearly a head-to-head rival with another recent micro car to hit the States, the Fiat 500. Having taken that car for a spin too, the big difference is the experience of the interiors. Watch the video to learn how Scion's engineers made a small car feel roomier than meets the eye.

ContiTireRace : the iPhone application test
ContiTireRace is a free iPhone application, that enables you to enter a timed track race driving a tyre! An opportunity to give it a go…
This is not the first game developed by Continental, who already gave us the ContiSnowRide a few weeks ago. ContiTireRace displays a more fun, sportier universe.
The game's user-friendly interface offers 2 driving modes, either by inclining the screen or using the cursors on the touch screen. In our opinion, the first is better as it is calibrated finely, and the accuracy is overall very satisfactory.
The race takes place in 3 laps, on a track alternating between relief, jumps, tunnels and a couple of traps. Although quite limited, as only one track is on offer and there is no real link with the Continental product universe, it is still highly entertaining and fun. Enough to spend a fun moment and great for challenging your workmates.
Our internal challenge showed that we needed a bit more practice as we were about 1 minute off the record. .. quite a bit of room for improvement.

States Wrestle Over Medicaid Funds in Stimulus Package
The $819 billion economic stimulus package now heads to the Senate after passing the House in a 244-188 vote, without a single Republican saying "yea." Now it heads to the Senate, where one of the sticking points is expected to be how funds for Medicaid will be distributed.
The WSJ explains that Democrats from rural and urban areas are wrestling over the formula to divvy up $87 billion in Medicaid funding. In the House bill, 52.5% of the funds would be doled out under the typical formula that's used annually, and the rest would be given out under a new "bonus" program that favors states with high unemployment rates.
This is worrying the folks in poor rural states where the unemployment numbers are already high, but where the rate of decline in jobs isn't as steep as in urban areas. "We are getting killed," said Sen. Kent Conrad of North Dakota.
The Senate version doles out 80% of the funds under existing rules and the rest under the "bonus" plan.
The bill as passed by the House, meanwhile, funds 65% of unemployed individuals' Cobra insurance premiums for 12 months. It also allows workers older than 55, or those who have worked at a company for 10 years, to keep Cobra until until they qualify for Medicare or find a new job. And, as we mentioned yesterday, the bill temporarily lets the unemployed qualify for Medicaid.
Some other health highlights: The bill has $335 million for programs that help prevent sexually transmitted diseases. The Senate version has $75 million for smoking-cessation programs.

Statoil and Statkraft have decided to start building the Dudgeon Offshore Wind Farm off the coast of Norfolk, UK.
When completed, Dudgeon will provide renewable energy for up to 410,000 households in the UK. The Dudgeon development will now move into a new phase, starting with construction of onshore cables and an onshore substation. Offshore construction will start in 2016.
"With today's investment decision, we have once again proven Statoil's ability to create value within the offshore wind business by utilising 40 years of leading competence and experience from complex oil and gas industry projects. This is in line with our commercial and stepwise approach to renewable energy development," says Statoil executive vice president Eldar Sætre.
The total investment in Dudgeon is estimated to be £1.5 billion (NOK 15 billion).The Dudgeon owners are preparing for a partnership structure reflecting this investment level. Statoil's investment is expected to be NOK 5.5 billion after the partnership structure has been finalised.
"We are very satisfied to have reached a positive decision for Dudgeon. This strengthens and confirms Statoil's strategic ambition of gradual and profitable growth as an industrial offshore wind player. Dudgeon represents a strong partnership with broad experience and expertise within the energy sector and offshore wind," says Statoil's senior vice president for the renewable energy cluster, Siri Espedal Kindem.
"We believe this project could further strengthen our position in the UK, benefiting from the positive and constructive dialogue already established with UK authorities, local communities and suppliers. Building on the Sheringham Shoal experience, we now look forward to a progressive dialogue with key stakeholders such as the Norfolk public community, the local supply chain and the authorities."

The Pentatonic Scale
The pentatonic scale, or bread and butter of all things rock, may very well be the most reliable set of intervals ever devised. Yes, they are essentially only diatonic scales with the second and sixth note removed, but pentatonic scales are really so much more.
The Blues ScaleFor the most part, the exclusive scale of blues is the aptly titled blues scale (Fig 1). This is pretty much a minor pentatonic scale, but with a flattened fifth. Generally, this added note is just treated as a chromatic passing tone. Some players do use it quite prominently and others avoid it aside from during turnarounds. The blues scale is not by any means restricted to blues, nor must the root always be minor. It's not uncommon for guitarists to land on a relative major root of the blues scale (Fig 2). In this instance, the scale pattern remains exactly the same, but the root is changed to the relative major (or second note of the minor pentatonic scale). The flattened fifth becomes a minor third (flattened third) in this case. Many country players favour this scale in their soloing endeavours. Neither of these scales in themselves will aid in creating terribly imaginative licks, as both are relatively popular and well used, but an extra note may prove to be awfully useful in many instances. Fig 1 Root note is bolded
G Blues Scale (in third position) Fig 2 Root note is bolded
e----------------------------3-6---| B------------------------3-6-------| G-----------------3-5-6------------| D-------------3-5------------------| A-------3-4-5----------------------| E---3-6----------------------------|
G (Major) Blues scale (in open position)
e-------------------------0-3------| B---------------------0-3----------| G---------------0-2-3--------------| D-----------0-2--------------------| A-----0-1-2------------------------| E---3------------------------------|
Major/Minor Pentatonic BlendingIf you're playing a pentatonic solo over a progression that stays for any length of time on a chord or interval that lacks major or minor affiliation, such as a fifth or seventh (minus third) chord, you have an excellent opportunity to unleash several new notes ,as well as a wide array of fresh melodies. By blending the major and minor pentatonic scales over the appropriate chord, one has plenty of space to create familiar sounds, not to mention more complex ones, all while using the same familiar scale patterns of the major and minor pentatonic scales. Often used by the likes of Eric Clapton and Johnny Winter, major/minor pentatonic blending generally lends itself to a somewhat harmonically ambiguous but still bluesy sound. Fig 3

Wide IntervalsAnother popular technique to inject some life into the 5 notes is the use of large intervals. Since the notes are usually played one after another, or with relatively close intervals, larger intervals can help a fair bit in the creation of fresh sounds. String skipping (Fig 5), and tapping (Fig 6) are the most common methods of implementing this, but merely keeping the premise in mind when improvising is enough to help add some wide interval licks to your playing.

Playing Out of the BoxI'd hazard a guess that at least seventy percent of all pentatonic playing takes place in a single box pattern, and you know the one! However, the scale has other patterns all over the neck of the guitar. Try playing several simple licks in various positions on the neck (Fig 7), or use the foreign patterns to aid in creating new licks. If you consciously make an effort to venture out of the ordinary box pattern and take steps to on a regular basis the other pentatonic patterns will soon be almost as familiar as the standard box. You'll likely come up with some staple licks that are unlike those that you tend to fall back on when playing in the home position. Fig 7

The Chromatic ApproachA favourite technique of Dimebag Darrell, adding chromatic notes to pentatonic patterns is a sure-fire method of creating many new, even exotic melodies. However, when going chromatic, there are some things to keep in mind; always remember where the root is, and try to avoid more complex chord progressions unless you're prepared to a)run into potentially shady harmonic territory, or b)keep your music theory brain pumping. Playing with chromatic notes in this manner is also an excellent way to train your melodic ear as, unlike pentatonic scales where it's easy to allow your mind to ease into autopilot, many of the notes will sound dissonant, or wrong over a given chord. Still, it may be beneficial to a song or solo to utilize challenging sounds, and chromatic improvisation will undoubtedly aid in teaching one where those beneficial times might be. Chromatic tones are commonly used in jazz guitar, though most often as passing tones, in that a run never concludes on a note outside of the base scale. Another chromatic approach is to follow the chord progression. For example, in Figure 8, the lick starts in C Ionian, over a C major chord, then as the progression moves to D minor, the key center of the lick changes to D Phrygian, and finally the progression ends on an E5, and the lick resolves on a bend from D to E. In Figure 9, a lick follows the C5-E5 chord progression by using first C Ionian over the C5, and E Blues over the E5. Fig 8

Fifteen white cups sit on the counter, filled to the brim with coffee ready for tasting.
Rebecca Morahan, the coffee trading manager at Twin Trading, an importer of fair trade coffee, shows me how the tasting - or cupping - is done.
She drinks a tablespoonful from the first cup, swirls it around and spits it out, moving quickly on to the next cup. In less than a minute, she has tasted all 15.
"You shouldn't fill your mouth," she advises. "The most commonly cited flavours are dark chocolate, fruity and berry. Flavours which indicate defects are earthy, woody - like chewing the inside of a stick."
Making a mental note that these flavours are often used to describe wine, I get cupping. The first three cups are called Mexico Gourmet (you taste three cups of a certain blend for consistency). They are smooth, rich and chocolatey. Extremely tasty.
I go on to taste coffee from Peru, Nicaragua, Uganda and Tanzania, and conclude that the coffees from Latin America have fuller flavours than their African counterparts.
Ms Morahan tells me that some tasters go through 100 cups at one sitting, and one of the main jobs is to make sure that only ripe beans have been picked. That's why, for tasting purposes, the beans are lightly roasted - so that any defects can be better tasted.
Once the taster approves the quality of the sample beans, the grower gets go-ahead to send the full shipment. Of course, the growers have to match the sample sent for tasting. As Ms Morahan points out, the relationship is based on trust.
In the growing fair trade coffee market in the UK, Twin is one of the key players.
Established in 1985, it imports the raw coffee beans from growers from around the world, and roasts and tastes them to make sure they are of the proper quality.
Twin imports around 2,000 tons of coffee a year for Cafédirect, which sells fair trade coffee to supermarkets. Sometimes it says no to a shipment "because we have to safeguard the quality of the product", Ms Morahan says.
In 1991, Twin - along with Oxfam, Traidcraft and Equal Exchange - founded Cafédirect, which markets, sells and distributes fair trade coffee to consumers. Since its creation, the organisation, which sells only fair trade drinks, has proved that the ethical model can be profitable.
Cafédirect, which sells only fair trade drinks, has proved that the ethical model can be a success. It is now the sixth largest coffee brand in the UK, with annual sales of more than £22m.
While the general coffee market has been static for a number of years, fair trade alternatives have shown considerable growth, almost doubling between 2001 and 2003.
Coffee with the trademark of the Fairtrade Foundation - the UK's leading ethical certification body - accounts for 4% of all coffee drunk in the UK, and 20% of the premium roast and ground sector.
Some of the giants in the coffee sector, such as Kraft Foods in the US, Lavazza, Italy's biggest coffee-maker, and the 100-year-old Lyons Original Coffee brand have responded to fair trade coffee's growing popularity.
These three big players, however, have chosen not to go to go down the fair trade route, preferring instead to work with the Rainforest Alliance, a New York-based international conservation organisation called.
Both the Rainforest Alliance and the Fairtrade Foundation seek to improve the livelihood of coffee farmers, but do so in different ways.
Under fair trade rules, farmers are guaranteed a minimum price of $1.21 (65p) a pound of green coffee beans. This is much higher than the market price, which last year averaged 80 cents after recovering from an all-time low in October 2001 when it tumbled to 45 cents.
The foundation also pays an extra five cents as a social premium to invest in community projects. This premium is paid even if the market price rises above $1.21.
The Rainforest Alliance awards a certified seal of approval to products such as coffee, bananas and pencils that meet certain criteria on environmental protection and workers' conditions.
While it does not get involved in the pricing of products, it says farmers received an additional 20% over the market price for their certified coffee when the market was down.
The alliance rejects the notion that it is tainted by working with multinationals such as Kraft.
"We wouldn't allow Kraft to use our name for superficial PR reasons," its marketing manager, Sabrina Vigilante, said. "It's all about building sustainability into the supply chain. Kraft has already exceeded its commitment to buy £10m of Rainforest Alliance-certified coffee, and is paying 20% above market price."
Whatever the means they adopt, the objective of companies such as Rainforest Alliance, Twin and Cafédirect - which pays $1.26 a pound, or 10%, above fair trade prices, whichever is higher - is to push value to the growers as much as possible.
This is a difficult, because the coffee gains most of its value at the roasting stage, and the roasting occurs in the importing country for reasons of freshness and conforming to consumer taste.
So while the grower is getting 65p a pound, under fair trade rules those beans can retail for £8 a pound once they're roasted. Coffee growers can do little about this price gap between the green and roasted bean, but the efforts of companies such as Twin and Cafédirect do help growers to earn more and improve their access to other markets.
Willington Wamayeye, who works as a coordinator and secretary of the Gumutindo coffee cooperative in Uganda, says the 3,000 farmers in the group are doing very well. The quality of coffee from Gumutindo helps the cooperative to prevail in a market where there is a glut of coffee.
Moreover, Cafédirect and Twin encourage Gumutindo and similar groups to sell beans to other roasters so it does not become overdependent on any one buyer.
"We want to encourage people like Gumutindo to capture other markets, to sell to other people," said Simon Billing, an information manager at Twin Trading.
In their efforts to encourage coffee growers to become as self-sufficient as possible, Twin and Cafédirect now encourage growers to train their own cuppers, or tasters.
From my brief experience as a cupper, they are in for a treat - provided, of course, that you don't burn the beans.

Understanding the Linear Lifecycle to Highlight Social Media's Place in the Revenue Funnel
Does social media have a place in the revenue funnel? As surprising as it sounds in today's digital marketplace, it depends on who you ask and how you look at the data. If you ask me, and Digital Travel Connect did, so I attended an Oxford-style debate at The Palace of Versailles in November 2016 (and won), yes - social media absolutely has a place in revenue generation!
The number one issue today when looking at returns from channels such as social media is last touch attribution. Using this narrow lens, an injustice occurs to nearly every top-of-funnel channel, including social. A critical part of defining your digital success is correcting this issue.
Identifying Your Funnel
Draw your current sales funnel on a piece of paper. Fill in all your active channels as either top, middle or lower touch channels. Chances are, it will look similar to the one I've drawn below:
Unless your business is strictly mobile, app or social (Snapchat, Instagram, etc), you play in many of the channels highlighted - and given my background in travel I've included meta search.
Many senior level leaders allocate budgets strictly according to returns. I've heard too many times in my career, "Why should I put funds into social? I can get a much better return in PPC."
Google evangelist Avinash Kaushik stated that every consumer, regardless of the product or service, will fall into three buckets within your funnel: See, Think, Do - essentially top, middle or bottom. Simply explained, "See" is the largest addressable qualified audience, "Think" is they are considering an action, "Do" is they are ready to act.
A clever way to map this out is to look at what I call the "Linear Lifecycle" to see if in fact your funds are going where your guests are spending most of their time engaging with your brand.
Take the standard lifecycle and "buyer's journey" that we've all seen before:
Stretch out the lifecycle as a linear function, assigning weighting or resources against each step, making it look like a bar graph. You can use revenue, visits, time on site, any other engagement metric that is relevant to your business and your story:
The way to read this graph is to take the consumer's chronological touch points and interactions with your channels and associate your revenue streams against each respective channel in your funnel - "See" channels versus "Think" channels versus "Do" channels. I've also added in "Care" as there is post-purchase considerations to be made, especially when considering lifetime value and residual service. "Care" channels can be similar to "See" channels to nurture the buyer back into the top of your funnel again.
This layout highlights where you are spending most of your time and budget versus where your greatest impact is (or should be) for your guests (using "revenue" as the metric for this example but would also work for "visits", etc).
Some of you may correlate very well, some of you won't. For those who don't, consider better aligning your budget and efforts to do greater justice to your top-of-funnel channels, like social and you will find it has high downstream impact to bottom line revenue.
Develop a strategy for each stage of the buyer's journey and make sure you are speaking in a language that addresses where the consumer is at each respective stage of your funnel via your correlated marketing channels.

AUSTIN, Texas -- Class of 2015 athlete Keke Coutee (Lufkin, Texas/Lufkin), who is taking part in the Longhorns' minicamp today, has committed to Texas.
"I just really always liked Texas a lot," Coutee said. "I liked the athletic program and the great academics and this is where I want to be.
"I'm down here and I just wanted to make it official. I had the opportunity so I made my decision."
Coutee, who is 5-foot-9 and 158 pounds, is working out at receiver today but could end up playing defensive back at Texas. He ran a 4.5 40-yard dash at camp. He said he doesn't have a preferred position.
"I'll just do what's best to help the team," Coutee said.
Coutee is Texas' fifth commitment of the 2015 class. He also has offers from Oklahoma and Texas Tech.
"The coaches were all happy. I was happy myself," Coutee said. "It was a great feeling to be committed to Texas."
