Emotional connections fuel loyalty.

To create an emotional connection, something positive and unexpected has to happen.

Even the smallest positive gestures, if unexpected, are powerful.

If the positive thing was expected, it protects against delivering a negative experience, but, it doesn’t surprise and delight.

Magic happens when we are delightfully surprised.

However, meeting expectations, while decent, never moves our needle to raving fan.

There is always a certain degree of risk in each and every day – are we mindful?

 

As a leader, it’s an amazing accomplishment to be fully in the moment and see things we don’t normally see.

In a professional environment, this is extremely challenging to do because we are usually so busy doing that we have precious little time to pay attention to anyone else.

But when we do find time, it can be transformational in our comprehension of our work environment.

And this may reveal a breakthrough, potentially.
