The book is at the crossroad of many disciplines business performance, organizational efficiency, leadership development, human resources management, individual psychology, "body and mind"; approaches, and somatic and spiritual approaches. Because engaging means engaging one's physical, intellectual, emotional, spiritual resources through an eco-system involving the individual and his environment.
Pure "carrots-and-incentives" visions of engagement have proven to fail in most contexts. The proposed model suggests another approach, a "whole self" vision, based on the view that people have a potential of engagement based on the 4 dimensions of their "Self", and by acknowledging the diversity of human drivers through 8 engagement profiles.
This book is a journey through personal experience and research, forming a "Sustainable Body-and-Mind Model" (SBME) deep diving into the mechanisms and individual dimensions of the "Self", illustrated through eight concrete profiles covering the full scope of disengagement, engagement and over-engagement.
This innovative and holistic modelization leads to the MOST strategic engagement framework, whereby "engaging" Managers and Organizations develop and sustain "engaged" Selves and Teams over time. |
