Inspiration As a Resource
To aspire to a better future, an individual, a team, an organization, or society needs inspiration. Inspiration supports:
- An individual’s contribution to a team
- A team’s contribution to an organization or initiative
- And an organization’s or initiative’s contribution to its customers/beneficiaries and the world
Since we as Connective Partners can’t be everywhere, we have gathered numerous inspiring seeds for you. Pick the most beneficial one for your situation now, find a fertile spot, plant it and let it grow. We would love to hear how it turns out.
Inspiring Leadership
Your challenge as a leader is to find a good balance between providing structure and leaving room for autonomy. Structure helps teams to get the job done effectively. Autonomy helps teams to adapt their approach when circumstances change or structure gets in the way of achieving the goal. We help you and your management team(s) find and hold that balance.
An Inspiring Environment
As a leader, you shape the environment in which teams realize results. Science has shown that the environment determines over 80% of people’s behavior. We help you implement the environmental characteristics that foster astonishing team results.
Inspiring Healthy Habits
Our brains are wired to conserve energy. Consciously planning and executing our every move takes a lot of brain energy. That is why we create habits (unconscious patterns of doing things). If you experience resistance to change, it is more likely that people are exhausted than unwilling. We help you as a leader to find and foster proven habits that support a healthy work environment.
