From Bloomberg Businessweek

The following excerpt is from an article in Bloomberg Businessweek. It's written for the business owner or manager who is concerned about employee engagement -- but can easily be "translated" into an article for Rotary club and district leaders. How do we motivate and engage our Rotarians?
"We cannot "motivate" engagement (or innovation, growth, or succession for that matter); instead, we must inspire the kind of outcomes we want by rooting ourselves in a set of values, being in the grip of an idea worthy of dedication and commitment, connecting around a meaningful and shared purpose, and aligning around a common, deep, and sustainable set of human, societal, and environmental values.
Why? Because sustainably engaged employees generate ideas, innovation, creativity, processes, and other outcomes that deliver long-term competitive advantages, and they also collaborate with others to make progress."
That speaks directly to "retention" in Rotary!
You'll find the entire article on the following link -- it's well worth reading and reading again and then sharing with your Rotary colleagues.
