Focus Work Conversations on the Four Intrinsic Rewards that Drive Employee Engagement [Archive.org URL]

Focus conversations on meaningfulness, choice, competence and progress. Leaders from the top down need to convey the same message—that the organization stands for doing work that matters and doing it well. When approaching any work project, leaders can underline the importance of contribution by focusing discussions on the basic questions in the self-management process:

• What can we do here that is meaningful?
• What creative choices can we think of to accomplish this?
• How can we make sure we’re doing this work competently?
• How can we make sure we’re actually accomplishing the purpose?

These questions bring employee contributions to the foreground and highlight the intrinsic rewards.
