When you connect with other people, your world gets bigger. If you want to do well in your life, connect with other people.
But to do that, according to Tom Gartland, ‘Connect with your heart, so that you can connect with the hearts of others.’
‘We cannot win by ourselves. Everyone owns it. And we all need each other.’
As a leader, you cannot truly connect by staying in your ivory tower. And the only way to connect is in person. And you can only do that one person at a time.’
‘You can train all you want, but if it does not come from the heart, it will not connect.’
‘We need to see beyond ourselves.’
‘Seeing the potential in people takes time, a shift in focus, practice, and care. It takes getting close to those around you.’
‘Leading is not about right now. Leading is about seeing the future in others.’
‘Treat people well and it will come back to you in spades.’
‘Truly connecting with those around you means being honest– about them and about how they are fitting (or not) into the organization as it (and they) move forward.’
‘Leading is about opening ourselves, and those around us, up to new possibilities.’
