Why wait until once a year to get some kind of view on what's going on in an organisation? 

These kinds of surveys only tell you what you should know anyway, don’t they? I know more organisations are waking up to this fact, but many still are not. Equally it should not just be the job of your Engagement Team to understand these things – all leaders should be asking their people on a regular basis.

Leaders need to be more curious!

In a dynamic, fast-moving world, you need to be asking these questions often – in a manner that works for your organisation. I particularly love question four:  Can you list for me the factors that could contribute to your doing the best work of your life?
