- Synopsis
- Connection-the bond an individual feels with another person, group, task, or mission-is one of the most powerful tools you as a manager can use to bring out the best in the people who work for you. Connected employees are loyal, committed, inspired, and excited. They have positive energy, and they give their best effort to everything they do. In this chapter, bestselling author ("Driven to Distraction") and practicing psychiatrist Edward Hallowell focuses on "Connect," the second of five steps in the Cycle of Excellence. Using real-life examples and new discoveries in the field of brain science, he explains why promoting positive connections among the members of your team is good for business. On the flip side, he describes the destructive impact of disconnection and shows you how to turn a disconnected workplace culture into a connected one. The chapter concludes with a list of concrete steps you can take to create a connected work environment-one in which people are doing their best work, enjoying their jobs, and helping your business to thrive. This chapter was originally published as Chapter 3 of "Shine: Using Brain Science to Get the Best from Your People."
