Kevin Eikenberry – Chief Potential Officer of The Kevin Eikenberry Group
Engagement is not something we do to people. It’s not ping pong tables, it’s
not casual Fridays… Engagement is something that someone chooses. Our
job as leaders is to create an environment where people want to engage.

Even if you have a great product or service, even if you have a great idea,
a lot of those ideas get crowded out and the loudest voice wins. And I don’t
really want to live in a world where the loudest voice wins – I want the best
ideas to win.
