Leading with Connection: Reflections on Modern Leadership

Planview's recent leadership team offsite meeting emphasized the importance of connection, alignment, trust, and their relation to strategy and organizational effectiveness. Being connected as people around a common purpose, with a shared strategic vision, and connected to the market and context, is crucial. Building a positive, innovative culture requires a foundation of trust and emotional safety, valuing diversity and inclusion, creating a culture that champions taking risks and prioritizes creating value for the customer. Leaders must set the example by fostering trust, alignment, and connection with their teams.
