Jason wraps up his 3-part engagement series based on Gallup's 2026 reports on engagement.

Key takeaways from this episode:

• 13-point drop in Gen Z and younger millennials feeling like their supervisor cares about them as a person (falling from 54% to 41%).
• 28% of workers identified "better communication" as the primary way to gain clarity, and 24% identified "supportive relationships, communication, and respect" as what would help them feel cared about.

Small things you can do as a manager:

• First understand WHY, then explain it
• Spend a few minutes at the start of 1:1s to ask a question about outside of work
• Tell an employee about one of their strengths

Jason talks more about Gallup's latest on employee engagement, with a focus on how a clear understanding of exceptional can lead to 4X more engagement.

Things to try as a manager:

1. Ask your employees for their Top 3 priorities and compare them to your answer
2. Objectively write down what you're judging your people on (hours worked? calls made?), and then write "Exceptional" and start to list the quantifiable things that define it
3. Use the GROW (Goal-Reality-Options-Way Forward) model in your 1:1s
4. Ask what "great" looks like, converse about it, and document it as a behavioral north star for your employees

Jason goes over the latest engagement numbers from Gallup, in part 1 of a 3-part series on what's going on out there and what you can do about it.

Jason challenges managers to do one of two things THIS WEEK:

1. Show more care, communication, or respect for employees in 2-3 mins/day.
2. Have a conversation with your managers and employees about what great performance looks like.
