As a leader, you can will know when your team is engaged by the level of productivity and moral. What I see as an engaged team to look like is everyone pitching in to help for the common cause, wether it directly impacts them or not.

If the soldiers are not engaged in the mission, then the mission will fail. The 208th mission is to provide medical treatment and if the soldiers are not engaged then it impacts patient care, flow, and patient tracking.

Failure is not always a bad thing, one of the best teachers is failure. Look at Thomas Edison, he failed at the incandescent light bulb hundreds of time before he succeeded. Failure allows us to see what ways do not work, critically  think, reformat and start over. When we fail, we tend to refocus on the task or project and work harder to succeed.

I don’t think that we all fear failure but feel that if we fail then we are not good enough. For people that do fear failure, it can lead to failure by not willing to take risks and ultimately  failing at the tase or mission.
