What gangs can teach us about employees

Listen to what an ex gang-leader had to say about why disaffected youths join gangs in this wonderful interview on the BBC Today programme yesterday.

For the drugs?  Partially.  For the money?  Partially.

But you know he was speaking from the heart when he said it was because being in a gang gave him a sense of belonging, a sense of pride and a purpose.

We are all the same.  Your employees are the same.  Do they come to work for the money?  Is that it?  Or do they have a sense of purpose, pride and belonging?  If they don't, what are you doing about it?
