Leadership Strategies for the Age of Connected Relationships

Return on Impact

What if your customers had a vested interest in guiding your company toward greater success? What if your employees had a personal as well as professional commitment to elevating your organization? Imagine how different your results would be if investors, vendors, and even analysts treasured the relationship they have built with you? Most important . . . is your company capable of setting aside a bit of its own self-interest to become part of dramatically more rewarding collaborative effort? That’s the provocative and ultimately earthshaking question David Nour poses. He argues that co-creation is a transformational journey that naturally leads to growth and evolution . . . because it gives birth to shared interests that dwarf anything that existed previously. In Co-Create, David Nour makes the case that co-creation leads to Market GravityTM, a force that attracts stakeholders to your business because they recognize that many others have also united their interests with yours. It’s the sense—backed by tangible metrics—that this is bigger than any of us imagined . . . except that you imagined precisely such an outcome. That’s the power of co-creation.

ConnectAbility -noun: 1. an agile approach to running an organization that takes into account the psychology of human interaction; 2. the only way to do business in today’s economy Drawing from the powerful lessons of emotional awareness and relationship dynamics, ConnectAbility promotes a sophisticated yet simple method for developing superior partnerships guaranteed to create quality results on a consistent basis. Even the best-intentioned team players too often focus more on communicating their own ideas than hearing and understanding what others have to say. ConnectAbility changes all this using eight steps to fostering optimum communication, which include: Sharing your power with others Expressing yourself with authenticity Engaging your audience with humor Challenging yourself by taking charge Maintaining awareness of emotional dynamics The book contains two tests you can take that will help you pinpoint your own level of ConnectAbility. ConnectAbility is your key to getting things done in a positive manner that benefits not only you and your team--but the organization as a whole.
