In his latest Forbes feature, Joe Folkman underscores a fundamental reality of the modern workplace: if a team member feels like an outsider, engagement is dead on arrival.
While many organizations try to “fix” burnout with wellness apps or Friday pizza, the research suggests a more foundational approach. High-engagement leaders foster an environment where collaboration is natural and trust is absolute. When trust exists, people assume positive intent and forgive mistakes—the two primary ingredients for resilience during difficult periods.
To transform a culture from burnout to highly engaged, we must move beyond the transactional and invest in the relational. It’s time to build a workgroup where everyone is “in” and no one is an outsider.
