ABOUT THIS EPISODE
What actually turns the crank on employee engagement?
Right now, only 31% of employees are fully engaged at work, and more than half are simply going through the motions. For agency leaders, that represents both a challenge and a massive opportunity.
In this episode of the Agent Leader Podcast, Brent Kelly sits down with Sadie Bauman of iC3 to explore what really drives engagement, and how leaders can start turning the crank on performance inside their agencies.
Drawing on Gallup research and real-world experience, Sadie breaks down why so many employees are stuck in the middle, what separates engaged teams from disengaged ones, and how leadership behaviors directly impact results.
You’ll learn:
- What it really means to “turn the crank” on engagement
- Why 52% of employees are stuck in neutral—and how to activate them
- The critical role leaders play in driving daily engagement
- How clarity, development, and communication fuel performance
- Simple, practical ways to create a more energized, high-performing team
If you want a team that’s more engaged, more motivated, and more productive, this episode will show you where to start.
