Law #3: The Law of Connection - "The conversations are the work."In today’s complex, fast-moving organizations, leaders are under constant pressure to drive results, manage competing priorities, and keep teams aligned—often across functions, locations, and time zones.This episode of The 10 Laws of High-Performance Collaboration introduces The Law of Connection, and core principles of leadership that are often overlooked: The quality of your team’s conversations determines the quality of your collaboration—and the results you’re able to achieve.We discuss:

• Why connection and conversation have a direct impact on efficiency, effectiveness, and supervision costs
• How to care for the quality of our conversations (hint: this has more to do with how well you listen than what you say)
• How to care for the timing of your conversations - "What conversation is it time for now?"
• The importance of developing the ability to notice when things are off track, and the skills that help you restore alignment and trust
