A lot of business managers fare poorly in talent management metrics such as leadership effectiveness and employee engagement. This is in spite of many actually devoting substantial hours to speaking directly with reporting team members. This because more than the number of hours spent, what is important is the actual mental alertness during such discussions. To achieve improved engagement, some tips have been sorted that will help such team leaders. One of them is of course to focus on the present and not be preoccupied by other thoughts. To do this, management training programmes focussed on mindfulness need to be arranged. The mantra of “do less, be more” needs to be followed where listening to people is important before major decisions taken. Another tactic will be embodied presence. Here, before an actual engagement, the leader visualizes himself/herself in front of the audience to rehearse accordingly.
