  2. Forethought • “People may doubt about what you SAY but they will believe what you DO and they will practice what you make them FEEL” - Lewis Cass and Ken Wright

  3. Let’s reflect on few situations

  4. Situation #1 • You are assigned to prepare a proposal for cabinet by your supervisor. You need to consult him/her in some issues. You tried an appointment but notified that he is in urgent meeting with Secretary. Waiting for half an hour you decided to intervene because of urgency. While entering into the room, you noticed that wider tea-discussion is going on about cabinet expansion and potential minister to your ministry.

  5. Situation #2 • With an advent of ICT, your workplace is equipped with internet facility. As a supervisor, while roaming around, you find that an employee spend one hour on an average browsing online news portals, social media, stock-market updates etc. at his/her workstation.

  6. Situation #3 • You assigned your subordinate a job of preparing a summary of macroeconomic indicators as supplement of making presentation at international conference. Because of busy schedule, you forgot to remind him. Few hours before conference begin, as you asked for the same, he answered with a gentle smile and expressed sorry for forgetting the assignment.

  7. Situation #4 • You are spending extra hours to your work to complete assignments on time without claiming overtime allowance etc. You know that your sincere efforts have significantly contributed overall performance of your organization. Your supervisor acknowledged your efforts in general staff meeting and awarded as “Best Employee of the Month !”

  8. Situation #5 • Over two decades of an average service period, you have consistently noticed that your physical workstation is very poor as compared to a living room of your own home in terms of cleanliness, sanitation, decoration etc. where you spend eight hours a day- significant productive time of life with exposure to thousands of people over the years.

  10. Engaged Employees • Employees work with passion and feel profound connection to their organization. They drive innovation and move the organization forward.

  11. Not-engaged employees • Not-engage employees are essentially ‘checked out’. They are sleep walking through their workday, putting time- but not energy and passion- into their work

  12. Actively disengaged employees • Actively disengaged employees aren’t just unhappy at work; they are busy acting out their unhappiness. Every day, these unhappy workers undermines what their engaged coworkers accomplish.
