Energy doesn’t add up between people, it multiplies. When a leader and their team bring strong, positive energy to an interaction, the combined effect can exceed what either brought alone. When one person’s energy is depleted, it can drag the whole interaction down. That dynamic, playing out across every interaction in an organization, is what creates collective energy: the pattern of where energy compounds, leaks, or gets blocked across a team or system.
This insider session features our leadership energy research on more than 600 teams and 34,000 relational ties. You’ll learn why the vast majority of relationships at work are neutral or energizing, why the remaining 9% do outsized damage, why it takes 4 positive relationships to offset a single negative one, and why that effect triples when the source is the team leader.
What You’ll Learn
In this collective energy webinar, you’ll learn to:
Explain why individual and relational energy multiply rather than add, and what that means for how organizations develop leaders
Identify 6 behaviors that most consistently drain a team’s collective energy
Apply 3 evidence-based strategies to protect and strengthen collective energy on your team
Recognize the outsized role team leaders play in shaping collective energy, for better or worse
