When we feel connected with our team members we have a culture of coming up with transformative and innovative ideas, and we feel inspired. Work just flows. Everyone in the team feels valued, and there are high levels of trust between each member.
Strengths and values are understood, and people know where they stand.
The connected teams I’ve been part of over the past 30 years have been invested in being the best they can be individually and collectively with a view of lifting the entire organisation. We always looked to go beyond our KPI’s (Key Performance Indicators) and achieved amazing things.
Being part of these teams can feel like being an explorer – it’s exciting, we don’t always know where we are going, and we don’t always know where we will end up – so the results can often be breathtaking.
Sometimes we will get lost but even that can be fun and certainly a learning experience.
This is the team we look forward to hanging out with every day, it’s the team we learn from every day and who learn from us and we are energised.
A connected team, or a high performing organisation, is invigorating, exciting and energising to be part of.
How can your team connect?
