Connection Culture: Infecting Your Team in a Positive Way
Michael Lee Stallard, author of Fired Up or Burned Out, has an outstanding new Change This manifesto you can download (for free) called The Connection Culture.
Michael shares 3 points that he recognized about connection are HUGE:
- First, connection is a powerful force that creates a positive bond between people based on both rational and emotional factors.
- Second, connection contributes to bringing out the best in people—it energizes them, makes them more trusting and resilient to face life’s inevitable difficulties.
- Third, connection can vary tremendously across organizations depending upon local culture and leadership.
A few questions came to my mind, and I’m wondering if you’ve got any insights on how to answer them.
How can you use this as a leader, and as a manager, to get your team more engaged and more committed to your organization?
What can you do to energize your staff?
If connection varies so much across organizations, what type of culture are YOU infecting your staff with?

Phil,
Thank you for bringing attention to my new changethis.com manifesto on the importance of the human connection at work and in life. As you know, it’s a message I believe in. Next week I have the honor of speaking to organization development professionals at Bristol-Myers Squibb, the company that developed the chemotherapy that saves my wife Katie’s life. My heart is always in my work but being at BMS will take it to a new level.
Thanks again for your support and encouragement.
