In her new book Strong Ground, Brené Brown makes a forceful point that real strength doesn’t come from bracing for impact — it comes from building stability long before the tremors start. That insight aligns closely with the purpose of engaging employees in routine processes for Systematic Continuous Improvement (SCI).

SCI isn’t a response to crises or sudden flashes of inspiration. It’s a “pre-active” system for engaging employees in the steady, ongoing pursuit of making work better, faster, easier, safer — before cracks appear. Brown calls this kind of leadership “grounded confidence.” It’s built on clarity, trust, and the courage to invite everyone’s voice into the improvement process.

When people have a routine opportunity to offer ideas, explore small improvements, and see them put into action, something powerful happens. They feel heard, valued, and connected to the organization’s success. That’s how real engagement takes root — not through slogans or surveys, but through a daily rhythm of contribution and respect for what people have to contribute beyond their “job boxes.”
