Engaging People: 3 Inspiring Ways to Build Commitment and Keep People Engaged

Description:
In this powerful episode of the Leadership Excellence Podcast, hosts George Trachilis and Dr. Tom Lawless dive into three inspiring ways leaders can build lasting commitment and engagement.

Commitment doesn’t come from pressure, incentives, or compliance—it grows when people feel purpose, connection, and genuine care. George and Tom share personal stories from business, leadership coaching, and the U.S. Army that prove one simple truth: when people understand why their work matters, they give their best.

🎯 What You’ll Learn:
1. Share a Clear and Meaningful Vision – Inspire purpose by connecting people to the “why.”
2. Connect Daily Work to the Bigger Picture – Link every task to your organization’s mission.
3. Lead with Consistency and Care – Build trust through reliability, empathy, and example.

💡 Leadership Insight:
- Real‑world examples from General Stanley McChrystal’s “crystal clear vision.”
- How simple habits like daily reflection and celebrating small wins multiply engagement.
- Why leaders who develop people first achieve operational excellence naturally.
