Disengagement stems from three primary root causes: Anonymity, Irrelevance, and Immeasurement. These concepts, based on Patrick Lencioni’s model, align with Self-Determination Theory’s principles of autonomy, relatedness, and competence. By addressing these root causes, managers can foster a more engaged and effective workplace. This lesson unpacks how each of these factors contributes to disengagement and provides actionable strategies for managers to address them.
