Employee engagement according to Yoda from Star Wars
Dear readers: This article was submitted to Open by a guest blogger, IC Yoda. While he may or may not have an interest in the promotion of Star Wars, we have decided to share his article in its original, unedited form, as he actually makes some great points on employee engagement. We hope you find it as insightful and enjoyable as we did.

Truly wonderful, the mind of the Employee is.
To nurture such minds, understand them first you must. For eight hundred years have I trained the Employee. Tell you what I have learned, now I will. The Employee’s strength flows from the Engagement. A powerful ally it is. Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us
Rules, regulations, procedures. The employee craves not these things.
Mission, purpose, belief. Powerful are these. Keys to the Engagement these are. Without these, fail you will. Through the Engagement, things you will see. Other places. The future… the past. Old friends long gone.
Trust in your employees you must place. Hope and mindfulness of the future you must plant…
…and the Engagement grow you will.
As leader, the way forward must you show. From behind, lead one cannot
To answer power with power, the Employee way this is not. In business, a danger there is, of losing who we are.
To be the Employee is to face the truth and choose. Give off light, or darkness. Be a candle, or the night.
May the Engagement be with you.
