Connected Teamwork

"One of the most transformative principles in leadership development is the Two-fold Commitment. First, committing to act on the best knowledge available today. Second, dedicating oneself to continuously improving that "best." Too often, leaders hesitate, waiting until they’ve earned every certification, read every book, or mastered every theory before taking action. However, true leadership is not about having the perfect answer—it’s about stepping forward with confidence in current knowledge while striving for continuous growth. This mindset has been a cornerstone of leaders and companies, where embracing this approach has led to daily progress and meaningful development." - Domien Van Gool, Founder of the Leader Academy. www.leaderacademy.tv Listen to this excerpt from the Rooted & Unwavering Podcast.

"After conducting hundreds of interviews, the most consistent and eye-opening feedback I’ve received is this: leaders often underestimate the emotional impact they have on their people. Their presence is felt—sometimes in ways they don’t realize. And yet, nearly every leader I share this insight with is surprised. By doing a little less, you open yourself up to sensing so much more. Leadership isn’t just about execution—it’s about awareness and connectedness. And that shift, more than any strategy or initiative, is what defines the difference between a leader who simply manages and one who truly inspires." - Sabina Nawaz Learn more about Sabina Nawaz and her upcoming book "You Are The Boss" available on March 4 in Amazon and through her website https://sabinanawaz.com/ Watch full episode: https://lnkd.in/eg6wcc8h Follow us in: Spotify: https://lnkd.in/gWzkEjfh Youtube: https://lnkd.in/gFneMQkN Apple Podcast: https://lnkd.in/dGzf-DDM #connectedness #teamwork #leadership #leadershipdevelopment #culturetransformation #growthmindset #coaching #growthculture #leadershipinsight

Early in my career, I faced a pivotal moment. After spending a year in a role where I wasn’t operating at my best, I received the toughest performance review of my career. Instead of dwelling on it, I took action. I booked a flight to meet with my boss face-to-face, confident in my ability as a high performer. In that meeting, I advocated for myself and requested a role where I could fully leverage my strengths and skills. That experience shaped my leadership philosophy. As leaders, we have a responsibility to create environments where our team members can thrive. It’s not just about performance; it’s about recognizing potential, aligning roles with talents, and empowering individuals to succeed. Equally important is staying true to our own values and capabilities, ensuring we lead authentically and inspire others to do the same. - Skip Richards, retired technology executive.

Team Connectedness Quotient (CQ) - 12 Practices Practice # 3?? - Let Go & Welcome Deeper Wisdom The counterpart to unconditional strength is being tied to expectations. When we cling to the expectations we set for ourselves, others, and the world, we drain our inner power and our ability to remain peaceful, creative, and compassionate. This attachment leads us to obsess, judge, and attempt to control reality in an effort to make it align with our desires. #connectedness #teamwork #leadership #leadershipdevelopment #culturetransformation #growthmindset #coaching #growthculture #leadershipinsight

Do we worry about the things we cannot control in challenging situations?
