Business leaders tend to focus on the desired outcome, or consequences, of their organization’s efforts.  While that is to be expected, Organization Behaviorists have proven that the consequences are the results of the Antecedents and Behaviors within the organization. 

Employee engagement is the human consequence of establishing a positive workplace culture and guiding behaviors.  The fiscal consequence is high performance.
