It is significantly better in the U.S., at around 30% engaged, but this still means that roughly 70% of American workers aren&#8217;t engaged. It would change the world if we did better.<\/p>\n<p>What the whole world wants is a good job, and we are failing to deliver it \u2014 particularly to millennials.

Most millennials are coming to work with great enthusiasm, but the old management practices \u2014 forms, gaps and annual reviews \u2014 grinds the life out of them.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re in a leadership role, the first step to high engagement is to assess your own perception of how your employees feel.
