When a team member is either overwhelmed with their work or underwhelmed, it can lead to a low level of engagement. In other words, responsibility level has to be in line with competency and potential.

Here are a few other thoughts to "gauge" the level of engagement with your team members.

• Are team members satisfied with their job/career development opportunities?
• Do they feel that their work and leisure time are in relative balance?
• Do they feel appreciated in their work community?
• Are they fairly treated?
• Do they experience success in their work?
• Do their contributions matter?
