Key Drivers of Engagement: Strategy, Leadership, and Execution

In this episode of Virtus in Action, Genaro Torres dives into the real drivers behind employee engagement—those that truly sustain commitment over time, far beyond perks or motivational slogans. Building on the previous conversation about levels of commitment, this episode answers a crucial question: what actually drives people to stay engaged and give their best?

Genaro breaks engagement down into three essential pillars. First, strategy, understood not as slides or documents, but as purpose translated into everyday work. When people know why their work matters, effort becomes contribution. Second, leadership, the bridge between vision and engagement. Leadership is not a title, but a daily practice of trust, recognition, communication, and emotional intelligence that helps others grow. And third, clarity of execution, the often-overlooked foundation of high performance. Clear roles, expectations, priorities, tools, and resources create momentum, while confusion silently erodes commitment.

Through practical reflections and powerful questions, this episode invites leaders, collaborators, and individuals alike to examine how they are strengthening—or weakening—each of these drivers in their own context. Because true engagement is built through purpose, human connection, and clear execution.
