Staff engagement: it starts with the leader.
Engagement can happen if you can take care of yourself first and respect the need for recovery times. It's very hard to find an engaged staff when the leader/manager is disengaged. Engagement is contagious. As leaders model engagement and connection, the staff will follow. Unfortunately, disengagement is also contagious and can create disastrous results.
