My SPARK Model
I have a simple, straightforward, SPARK model that works EVERY TIME.
But it takes work.
S
Systemic Collaboration
Collaboration is a common business buzzword, but systemic collaboration is different. It gets to the core of true and functional collaboration—where collaboration becomes a part of the inner workings of the organization and its decision-making processes.
P
POSITIVE FUTURE
Because positivity is a cultural contagion, emotional connectedness is achieved when individuals use it in a unified way to move forward together to achieve results.
A
ALIGNMENT OF VALUES
Organizations that place an emphasis on higher-order qualities such as honesty, integrity, and resonance with personal beliefs, drive emotional connectedness when leaders and peers embrace these common values.
R
RESPECT
Perhaps the most important of the five elements, respect is the element that catalyzes all of the others to drive peak performance. A sense of emotional connectedness becomes far deeper in environments where respect is established as a type of social currency that is exchanged reciprocally.
K
KILLER ACHIEVEMENT
Achievements feel hollow unless both the individual and organization experience a benefit. Killer achievement delivers a combination of financial and emotional upside that amplifies the effect for everyone.
