“People will create the value, if you first value the people.”
Introduction
We’re really excited by the possibilities and potential of people working together in full and well-synchronised concert. Yet, in many organisations and workplaces today, the collective music of teams can still sound less like a delightfully synchronised performance and more like an awkward early rehearsal. Most often, our experience suggests this situation stems from various forms of lost connection.
For organisations to leverage the enormous power of connection, the following conditions must exist:
- Each individual member has a clear line of sight from their role to what the organisation is all about. They must understand the mission and the people they serve. They know how their contribution counts and they regularly get the chance to feel meaningfully proud of it.
- The innate talents of each individual are well aligned and connected to their work. They have the opportunity to give of their best through their work.
- The members of the organisation are inspired and united in support of authentic leaders who they have come to believe in (and vice versa).
- The work is designed to connect with the humanity of the people who perform it. People dare to bring their hearts and souls to work and the organisation shows genuine and attentive compassion for them.
- Team members are empowered to work confidently and collaboratively within a climate of inclusion, trust and mutual respect.
- Individual and collective learning is promoted and ensures the sustainability of positive organisational results.
- Organisational ambition is shared widely and connects to the targets and quality measures of each individual’s work.
We’re confident these connections can be formed. It’s not always easy to do but the payoff is eye-wateringly compelling. Such connections aren’t a mere nice to have, they will show through in productivity, quality and the bottom-line. If you sense there’s a gap between your organisation’s current state of connectedness and how it should be, we’d welcome a chance to help close it.
