The Connected Leader:
Scaling Alignment, Winning People
What if the biggest lever for your organisation's performance isn't strategy, structure, or systems – but alignment? Real, human alignment.
Organisations have become highly adept at driving individual accountability and execution. But as work becomes more complex and interdependent, these same systems reinforce siloed behaviour, creating small gaps in alignment that can quickly multiply across the system. Effective leaders recognise that the source of high-velocity performance is alignment, not speed.
That's exactly what we're unpacking in this exclusive, by-invitation-only Leadership Masterclass!

SPEAKER'S BIO
Mickey Connolly is the Chairman and co-founder of Conversant. For over 35 years, Mickey and his team have explored how the way leaders connect with others impacts the amount of time, money and stress it takes to achieve important goals.
Mickey co-authored two books that feature Conversant research and results: The Vitality Imperative: how connected leaders and their teams achieve more with less time, money and stress and The Communication Catalyst: the fast (but not stupid) track to value.
Mickey has worked with over 100,000 leaders, educators, and negotiators to resolve conflict, align varied interests, and accelerate achievement. Clients have included police, military and government organizations as well as many prominent enterprises like Hewlett Packard, Korn Ferry, Microsoft, J&J, Coca Cola, McDonald’s, National Australia Bank, Standard Chartered Bank, Lloyd’s Banking Group, Citi, Australia Post, The China Energy Foundation, The Nature Conservancy, Humana, Ramsay Healthcare, Lockheed Martin and many others.
Mickey's contributions are based in a dual, well-researched conviction: differences + trust = intelligence and conversations are the work for making that come true. The body of work has come to be called Connected Leadership and applies to culture change, strategy development, leadership development, talent management and all achievements that demand effective collaboration.
A current focus of Mickey Connolly’s work: as virtual workplaces, collaborative software and artificial intelligence change how work gets done, one thing is more important than ever: connected human endeavor. Each moment of connection will help or hurt genuine alignment, coordinated action, and resilient correction; it is best if we learn to take full advantage of those moments.
Mickey’s time away from work is filled with family, friends, food, wine, sport and an avid appetite for reading.
