Michael Lee Stallard & Connection Cultures

Michael Lee Stallard joined us today on the Real Recognition Radio to share his whole concept of the Connection Culture that came out of his book Fired Up or Burned Out. You can re-listen to the show as soon as it is archived on the site.

We were excited to learn from Michael’s research his identification of 6 universal needs consisting of Meaning, Respect, Recognition, Belonging, Autonomy, and Personal Growth. Naturally, we were pleased to see respect and recognition within this Character - Connection - Thrive model.

Michael stated employee engagement is like having a battery on the back of each employee which they can’t personally charge. Michael said recognition is what is needed to charge those employee batteries and it can only be done by other people.

Michael also discusses the need for organizations to establish “relationship excellence” which I think is foundational for making recognition valued and perceived as being “real”. We need to connect with people on a human level to have recognition act as a powerful tool for elevating performance.

What are you doing to charge the batteries of those you work with?
