We must turn our attention to relationships, learn how to connect with others and build relationships that work in the New World of work. Connectivity is about being a part of something bigger than yourself. It's about developing a support system that will help you become stronger and more sensitive in a world that has become callused and scary. Getting connected may be the most important thing you can do to ensure your personal and professional success in a rapidly transforming environment. Building multiple connections will help you thrive even when a big piece of the rug gets pulled out from under your feet or when the world that you have always known seems to be crumbling around you.
Connectivity is about relationships.
I am exploring the concept of connectivity from both a personal and organizational perspective. I have been compiling some wonderful stories, experiences and thoughts about the power of connectivity. People are talking about what has saved them when they've lost their jobs, their friends, their confidence or their faith. They are talking about what they have accomplished when faced with downsizing, mergers, jackpots or insurmountable odds. Being connected seems to be a significant element in most of these experiences.
