Guide to Getting Employees More Engaged
5 out of 5 stars
April 30, 2019
In this book, author Tim Wilke discusses 24 strategies that will help improve employee engagement. The first part of the book has the manager do some assessment about the current level of engagement that the staff has. In this part, he also discusses the cost of disengagement as well as giving the big picture of the 24 strategies and how to apply them. Part 2, the bulk of the book, lays out the 24 strategies. They range from very simple (like saying hello to your staff every morning) to ones that are a little more vague about how to implement (like showing respect to employees) to ones that would require corporate culture change (like doing away with annual performance evaluations).
In each chapter about a strategy, he discusses research sometimes and also has you ponder your own experience or made-up scenarios that give insight into the strategy. He often tells what’s in it for management regarding the strategy, and he always ends by showing what personal needs of the employee are addressed by the particular technique. Sometimes, he gives detailed descriptions about what to do, and other times, they are more general.
For the most part, the strategies he suggests should be common sense for managers. Having worked in several larger organizations myself, I know that common sense is not so common, particularly with certain managers and typically more apt to be absent in a large organization. There are definitely dangers in misinterpreting or poorly implementing some of these strategies; the author does caution about some of these pitfalls. I’m particularly thinking about the “management by walking around” strategy. I had a manager who did this, but she used it to micromanage and belittle employees; the author does mention this as a “don’t.”

Allegory about Leadership Success
5 out of 5 stars
Jamie BJ, April 13, 2019
This is an allegorical book that means to teach about leadership success through story. (I believe brain science supports that we do learn best through story.) Ruby and Byron are two managers who have different concepts of what leadership success looks like. At a fair, they visit a magical manor where they are each given a different box of leadership tools. They are told that mentors will follow up with them to help them better use the tools. Byron is the type of boss who thinks he should decree everything his employees do while Ruby is a leader who prefers to empower the people she works with. The tools in each of their boxes correlate with their managerial style.
Which one will come to appreciate what it means to be a leader and how to act on it? Will they both end up feeling that their personal style is still the right way?
The principles of success in leadership that this book espouses ring true. A boss is not a leader necessarily; unfortunately, not all bosses understand that. It takes a certain level of trust to truly lead, which is something that many would-be leaders have a hard time both engendering and allowing.
At the end, the book summarizes the key concepts and has suggestions about how to incorporate this allegorical tale into the workplace. The lessons in this book would make the workplace a better place for both employees and managers as they work together to meet the company’s needs.
A leadership book with heart
4 out of 5 stars
Sam Freeman, November 25, 2015
It is obvious from the beginning that Tim is a storyteller and someone who understands and has analysed leadership from all angles. Part JK Rowling, part Barbara Cartland, Tim uses the intimacy of relationships to contextualise the nature of leading. His insights are palpable and he sets you on a unique journey of discovery that is entertaining yet fundamentally educational. A book for all those who aspire to be “good” leaders in the truest sense of the word.

If you love books like FISH!, Who Moved My Cheese and Raving Fans!, then you’ll enjoy the fable-like story of Look Inside: Discovering the secret to leadership success.
The two main characters, Bryon and Ruby, are similar to many of today’s managers in one particular way. They struggle in knowing what it means to be a great leader. In response, they both set off together on a journey to discover what the answer is. Unfortunately though, it’s not as easy as they first envisaged.
But eventually they put all of that behind them with the help of a most unusual fellow from The Magic Manor, who individually mentors each of them through a 5 week self-development leadership program.
By the end, one of them actually discovers the secret to leadership success. But who is it? And what is it that has been kept a secret for so long? Well, discover these answers for yourself and how to apply them to become the leader you’ve always wanted to be. To facilitate this, the book provides 1) a clearly defined process to follow; 2) a range of fun tools to make the process more enjoyable and 3) a schedule to help you keep on track.
The story of Look Inside, although targeting managers of all ages, is especially written for the young and/or adventurous at heart. Hence the reason for it’s easy reading style and an “outside of the box” theme.
