Employee engagement at an all-time high, but still only 34% of people love (like, really LOVE) their jobs.

Stats for veterinary medicine are thin on the ground, but what we do have suggests we are nowhere near this good. In fact, all the evidence we have suggests we do a terrible job of having engaged employees.

Did you know that 70% of the variance in team engagement is explained by the quality of the manager or team leader?

Aka - teams with great leaders are happier, perform better.

So, what kind of leader are you? What kind of culture have you created or are participating in?

These are meaty questions that deserve time, thought and honest answers.
