In This Episode
If you’re new to this podcast and my blog, you may be wondering about the title, “Connect Mobilize Deliver”.
You know it’s about connecting people, mobilizing them for action, and delivering results. But, why are those three words the foundation to my approach to leadership?
In this two-part series, I’ll explain why I use a framework of Connect Mobilize Deliver when leading teams.
And, I’ll share some super simple techniques you can use so you’ll know how to connect, mobilize, and deliver with your team.
Like most of the leadership wisdom I share, it’s basic and fundamental. Because I believe consistently practicing and applying fundamental career skills will bring you success as a leader.
I covered some of this content in previous blogs posts but you can hear me go deeper in these episodes. The links to those posts are below.
This episode is part 1 and I give a summary of each step in the Connect Mobilize Deliver framework. Then I dive deep on the topic of connecting.
You’ll get two fast, easy, and practical techniques you can use today to positively impact people’s lives as you connect them with one another.

1. Listening
Listening intently and paying attention even during casual conversations will make you a better leader. You’ll be more equipped to connect people when you know things about them that they share during normal conversations.
2. Starting conversations
Prompting conversations with or between your teammates doesn’t have to be hard. Try some of the techniques on the website listed below. The casual discussions you start may lead to deep and lasting relationships between your colleagues.
3. Being intentional with your time
If you’re thoughtful and purposeful about how you spend your time, you can make a positive difference in the lives of your teammates during time that is often wasted.
For example, by asking intentional questions to connect people as you’re gathering for a meeting or video call, you can strengthen your team. And not just talk about the weather… again.
