  6. The Employee Engagement Network 7 The 7 QUESTIONS The question is the answer to employee engagement by David Zinger The Wednesday Question What gives me energy, what takes it away, and what for me is a waste of time? I learned about this question from Donald Graves, an American educator who studied energy and teaching. Like all the questions in this book, don’t just ask the question, answer the question. Do something about your energy based on your response. Don’t be mindlessly sucked down an energy drain at work. If something is a waste of time eliminate it or find out why it matters to someone else. ?

  10. . The Employee Engagement Network 11 The 7 QUESTIONS The question is the answer to employee engagement by David Zinger Engage with Questions Transform weak engagement into a powerful week of engagement based on questions. Ask yourself one question each day. Ask these questions of others at work. Run a one week experiment. Rewrite a question to make it better for yourself. Ask the question each hour of the day. Give this book to someone else and have them ask you the questions. Be mutually accountable. Post the question on your Intranet or put one up on Twitter or even your bathroom mirror. Let the questions be your guide. Ask the questions -- be the answer! …try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer. ~ Rainer Maria Rilke, 1903 in Letters to a Young Poet.
