I recently had the opportunity to discuss with an experienced professional from the bio medical field about engaging employees rather than managing them.  I must say, it was inspirational to hear another colleague highlight the importance of coaching rather than managing.

To this individual, leadership was the language, not management.  How can one engage a team if they are managing?  Coaching, mentoring, leading…this is how one leads a team to high levels of productivity, great moral, and amazing, tangible results.

How do you engage your team?  Please share…
