The COVID-19 crisis brought a potential reshaping of the way people approach work. A recent Microsoft survey found more than 40 percent of the workforce is likely to consider leaving their current employer within the next year. Perhaps organizations can adjust to this new normal by creating a more connected culture by increasing emotional compensation. Michael Lee Stallard is a GovExec contributor and the co-author of the book Connection Culture: The Competitive Advantage of Shared Identity, Empathy, and Understanding at Work, now in its second edition. He has a post on our site right now  headlined “To Cope with the Labor Shortage, Raise Emotional Compensation”  He joined the podcast to discuss emotional compensation and how it affects team connectedness. 

Does your leadership change the organization? For the better? This is the question Jonathan Raymond asked himself and had an aha moment. Jonathan is the author of Good Authority: How to Become the Leader Your Team Is Waiting For and joins Kevin to discuss the mindset shift leaders at all levels need to make. Your team does not need a leader who knows everything and solves all the problems. Your job as a leader is to think strategically about the organization. Your job as a leader is to create the emotional conditions for your team to grow. Let them do the jobs they were hired to do.

I have a special treat for you this week. This will be the first time I’ve had someone back on the show and it’s for a very good reason. My guest is a people expert who inspires organizations and individuals to build real relationships and get real results. Named one of Forbes Top 25 Networking Experts, she is the author of several books including “The Connectors Advantage: 7 Mindsets to Grow Your Influence and Impact,” which was just released a couple of months ago.

I feel quite fortunate to be mentioned with this esteemed group - many of whom I’ve interviewed. Connectors think and act a certain way that makes things happen faster, easier, and often with a better result. If you feel like your networking is not translating into results or everyone else seems to be getting ahead even though you are just as smart - then you’ll appreciate the great advice from these connectors.

While working on Wall Street, Michael Lee Stallard observed that differences in the cultures of merging organizations frequently sabotaged post-merger performance. As a result, he decided to study organizational culture in-depth, which led to writing two books about it, Fired Up or Burned Out and Connection Culture, and co-founding the Connection Culture Group (CCG). Since that time, Mike and his colleagues at CCG have developed frameworks, training and tools that have been praised by well-respected leaders. Mike has spoken about organizational culture at a wide variety of organizations.

Today's guest learned through a family health crisis how crucial human connection is and became an expert on how effective leaders can boost human connection in cultures to improve the health and performance of individuals and organizations. For more than a decade, he and his colleagues have worked with a wide variety of business, government, healthcare and education organizations to boost connections in their culture. They share best practice attitudes, language and behavior to create what he calls “Connection Cultures” that have propelled the success of teams and organizations including the rock band U2, Costco, the U.S. Navy, NASA, and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. His message resonated so strongly that Texas Christian University founded the TCU Center for Connection Culture based on his work. He is the author of two books, “Connection Culture” and “Fired Up or Burned Out.” Please join me in welcoming Michael Lee Stallard. In this episode we discuss: his thoughts on leadership: “Leadership comes out of a leader who cares about both people and results. It is deeply rooted in a person's care for others, and those leaders are the ones people follow.” the role sports played in his life and how he learned about leadership from the action of different coaches he admired. how his wife's cancer battles changed his life and further developed his views on connection. his knowledge about loneliness and its harmful effects on health, as well as his methods for overcoming loneliness to truly connect with others. his view on cell phones and the importance of putting them away during meetings to help increase connectivity. the culture framework he created and follows to encourage people to be leaders who help others feel connected instead of controlled.

The Business of Learning Episode, Episode 5. We speak to Michael Lee Stallard and Jay Morris about employee wellness, satisfaction and engagement.

This month, Erika has an insightful conversation with Michael Lee Stallard, whose latest book, Connection Cultures, provides guidance for deepening our connections at work to help us all take best advantage of the power of connection.

Everyone wants to feel connected—it's part of human nature. Whether it's building relationships at home, in the community, or with friends, people like to feel bonded to each other. But perhaps it's nowhere more important than at work. A connection culture in the workplace can impact customer experience and create a place where employees are engaged and excited to be. Studies have shown that people who aren't connected can actually get physically ill and fall into poor health, especially during times of stress. However, the opposite is also true, says Michael Lee Stallard, author of "Connection Culture: The Competitive Advantage of Shared Identity, Empathy and Understanding at Work”. When employees feel connected to their supervisors or the people they work with, all the parts of their body work together so they can physically work at a higher level. As an employer, it makes sense to want employees who are physically and mentally strong and engaged over employees who are dragging and stressed. Who would you rather have interacting with your customers? Brands want their customers to be engaged and feel connected to the company. But it's hard for employees to give customers what they themselves don't have. A company won't have energetic and enthusiastic employees who connect with customers if those employees don't feel connected to the company. According to Michael, there are five benefits that come from having a connection culture: employees have cognitive clarity, they give their best effort, they align their work with the organization's goals, they communicate more, and they engage in creativity to fuel innovation. A culture of connectivity impacts everyone, and customers can feel if it is there or not. When employees are engaged and connected, they naturally want to share that with customers. Michael tells the story of Admiral Vernon Clark, who was the Chief of Naval Operations just before 9/11. When Admiral Clark took over, the Navy was having a hard time retaining sailors because they weren't treated well and didn't feel connected to the organization or to each other. When he first joined the Navy, Admiral Clark had a Master Chief mentor him, which connected him to the organization and set the path for his career, and he wanted other young sailors to have a similar experience. Admiral Clark turned things around by talking to the Master Chiefs and encouraging them to mentor and train the sailors under them. It worked—by mentoring the sailors and building connections, the sailors became more engaged and connected to the Navy's mission. In just 18 months, re-enlistment jumped from 20% to 70%. Creating a connection culture in the Navy ensured that it was ready for whatever came its way and could do its job to protect American citizens. Similar principles are found at Costco, which is known for taking care of its employees. Because Costco is focused on doing the right thing, employees feel connected, and the company has a much higher retention rate than other retail stores. The result is employees who are happy to be there and serve customers in any way they can. A connection culture builds long-term, sustainable performance, which creates a high-quality customer experience. When people don't feel connected, they are only coming to work to get a paycheck, and it shows in their interactions with customers. Conversely, a connection culture helps every employee see how their role impacts the organization and makes them excited to provide a great customer experience each day.

Michael Lee Stallard – Helping Leaders Create Cultures That Connect Michael Lee Stallard defines the meaning of culture within the organizational context. He describes three distinct types of sub-cultures and illustrates with two noteworthy examples of highly connected cultures – The Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and the band U2. He concludes with ideas on how leaders can build a culture of connection in their organizations. Download show notes at: http://www.ajoconnor.com/HRstudio/podcasts/Michael_Stallard
