Human beings are social animals and not machines. We need not only interaction with other human beings but we also have a need to feel like we belong at home, at play and at work. Michael Stallard points out in his book Connection Culture that connection is the X Factor of successful cultures. It is the responsibility of leaders to be intentional about building cultures where employees feel connected. Stallard points out the three main aspects of connection as Vision, Value and Voice. Leaders who share and engage their employees across the three aspects of Vision, Value and Voice will build more successful and more sustainable organizations. Organizations capable of ‘Sustained Superior Performance’. How are you connecting with the people you lead? Does your organization have a culture of Connection, Control or Indifference? Build a connection culture and you’ll build a successful organization!
