In this world, interconnectivity is in crisis. Functionality and financial rewards guide our working relations and are affecting our ability to relate to others and ourselves. The human perspective seems to be lost, leading to divided and less productive teams and organizations. The Connection Quotient enables an honest, courageous and humane interconnection to form, while still focusing on financial outcomes and results. The CQ enables us to illuminate our human qualities and use these to connect with others, discuss differences, expand insight and encourage the development of new ideas. The CQ will introduce a new workplace culture where organizations and teams can approach the personal and professional through a more transparent and inclusive style. Ultimately, the CQ makes it possible to play "hard on the ball, and soft on the individual".

This book is a gateway to a fast-moving topic, which is why it has now been thoroughly updated with new material. It gets the reader started on all the important elements of ethical and sustainable business practice, but is deliberately concise, non-preachy and practical. If you are a business owner or leader, it will provide you with the tools to make a difference. If you work for an organization that needs change, it will give you the ammunition you need to lobby the decision makers and present a compelling case for long-term sustainability.

Since the height of the pandemic, working styles, cultures and relationships have changed - probably forever. Managers and leaders who think they can simply return to their old ways and methods will be the least effective in this new age of work. This book sets out the key attributes that the modern leader must learn and/or develop. Such attributes centre on the themes of trust, strengths, compassion, flexibility, family, creativity, risk, values, empowerment and even humor. Leaders and managers who are more progressive and are seen to value their people will be the ones that stand out in terms of both individual and team performance. This practical book provides the foundation for any manager who wants to make the transition into being a modern and effective leader.
