The side effect of engaging leadership
I found this simple list describing engaged doctors in an article by Craig Kamins of Gallup:
- loyal to the organization
- willing to put forth discretionary effort
- willing to trust and cooperate with others
- willing to work through challenges
- willing to speak out about problems and offer constructive suggestions for improvements
The author in this case concluded that these engaged doctors were, on average, 26% more productive than their less engaged counterparts and their level of engagement was highly influenced by the leadership within hospitals.
Not only is this list of characteristics broadly applicable, it’s also a nice reminder of the effect leadership can have on a team.
Great leaders don’t care for their team in order to get the productivity results, they do it because it is the right thing to do, but having great productivity is certainly a nice side effect of being an engaging leader.

Inclusion System extends our profound respect and immeasurable gratitude to all the ancestors and keepers of the land on whose traditional territories our work takes place. We acknowledge that we are on Treaty 1 territory, the traditional gathering place of the Anishinaabe, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota and Dene people and the traditional homeland of the Métis people. This land is sacred, historical, and significant.
Every time we acknowledge this truth, we have an invitation and an opportunity to reflect on the wrongs of the past, what we do in the present, and what we can do to continually honour the people whose lands and water we benefit from today.
This statement only acts as a first step in honouring the land we reside on and its peoples, and must be paired with education, understanding and informed action.
