Network of mutual personal connections
Strong personal connections are crucial motivators at work. Isolated individuals face burnout, disengagement and reduced performance. Managers must ensure these connections exist throughout the organisation and invest in solutions where they are lacking.
Priority networks
Priority networks unveil leadership roles in companies. They reveal whether top leaders drive priorities or if uncertainty leads to confusion and a lack of direction.
Opinion leaders in the organisation
Colleagues with informal influence affect opinions. Recognising and involving them strategically helps leaders enhance communication, engagement and motivation.
