This was a work required read. It was okay, and I can definitely see there are engaged and disengaged employees in the work place. The struggle is getting the middle ones to engaged and the disengaged out.

This is a good book. It provides a good outline of how to engage employees, but I think that many of us (at least I am) are working through "what do we do if they don't want to be engaged?" Employees who are technically competent, and uninterested in manager/leadership engagement- how do work with this type of employee?
