The Webb Engagement Principle
The Webb Engagement Principle™ – Created by James Webb
The Webb Engagement Principle™, created by James Webb, is a transformative formula for elevating team connection, engagement, and performance, especially in Agile, SAFe, and virtual work environments.
Based on over three decades of experience in learning & development, Agile coaching, and mindset transformation, this principle is designed to turn passive participants into fully invested contributors.
What Is the Webb Engagement Principle?
The principle rests on the psychological truth that engagement is not demanded, it’s designed.
It combines neuroscience, empathy, and modern leadership science to transform the way we lead, teach, and coach.
Core Formula:
(Empathy + Clarity) × Adaptability = Engagement
- Impathy involves building psychological safety and emotional connection.
- Clarity outlines defining expectations, roles, and purpose.
- Adaptability explains adjusting to team needs, feedback, and learning preferences.
- Engagement brings out the natural result when all three are aligned and multiplied.
