Disengagement is silently killing teams—and most leaders don’t seeit until it’s too late.
In this kickoff episode of The Middle Matters,I introduce the first of the 10 ConnectionCommandments:
“Start With Worth, Not With Work.”
If you want your people to stay, grow, and contribute at their highest level,you’ve got to start by making them feel seen.

Inside this episode:

·      Why nearly 60% of employees are disengaged(Gallup data)

·      The real cost of disconnection—and why it startsin the middle

·      How to shift from pressure to presence withoutlosing performance

·      My personal story of missing it at home and howit changed my leadership

💡 These commandmentsare the foundation of Connection-CenteredLeadership™, a framework I teach to help leaders stop disengagement, buildtrust, and keep their best people.
