Connectable

How Leaders Can Move Teams from Isolated to All In

De: Ryan Jenkins, Steven Van Cohen

Narrado por: George Newbern

When Covid-19 forced a sudden shift to remote work in 2020, it only exacerbated what had been a long-simmering issue in the workplace: Feelings of isolation and loneliness among employees are on the rise, and contribute to a real and growing mental health problem that affects both individuals and organizations. In Connectable, you'll learn how addressing the issues - and finding practical, effective solutions - can transform an isolated workforce to one that's happier, more engaged, and more productive in their efforts.

With more than a decade spent helping companies lessen worker loneliness, Ryan Jenkins and Steve Van Cohen distill their methodology in this book, showing you what's causing today's loneliness, the role inclusion plays in solving it, and how you can decrease loneliness and increase belonging, engagement, and performance with employees at every level - including yourself. You'll learn: how to develop emotional intelligence to show up for others; how to identify lonely or depressed employees; how to create psychological safety for employees; how to create environments of belonging and inclusion; how to create and cultivate connections across teams (in person or remote); how to create connected, driven, and high-performing teams using the four-step Less Loneliness Framework; and more.

Timely leadership book

This book was masterfully crafted and addresses the most threatening power against the current work force: Loneliness. This book is a must read for current leaders. I really enjoyed the audiobook but have purchased the book for reference.

Some great advice to beat loneliness

The book could be shorter/more dense with information/less repetitive but it does contain some very useful information and tools that help against loneliness.

Timely and impactful

Connectable comes out at a great time. The realization of how technology has traded social interactions for convenience is alarming. The research and eye opening data in Connectable is outstanding. Connectable is a great read for everyone but especially leaders in the current environment.

Loved this book and the narration

Well researched and chock full of entertaining stories that drive home the points being made. This topic is so needed in today’s work settings.
