In today's episode of LID Radio Podcast, we're joined by Marco Buschman, author of The Connection Quotient.
Marco Buschman is a leadership expert, inspirational speaker and master certified coach. He specializes in facilitating and supporting organizations in creating high-performance cultures.
In his book, Marco demonstrates how the Connection Quotient enables an honest, courageous and humane interconnection to form, while still focusing on financial outcomes and results, developing these relations to improve the business networks they serve. The CQ enables us to illuminate our human qualities and use these to connect with others, discuss differences, expand insight and encourage the development of new ideas. The CQ will introduce a new workplace culture where organizations and teams can approach the personal and professional through a more transparent and inclusive style. Ultimately, the CQ makes it possible to play âhard on the ball, and soft on the individualâ.
Episode Questions:
00:57 - Why did you decide to write The Connection Quotient back in 2020 and why do you think its messaging is still as relevant?
03:41 - What is the connection quotient, how would you define it?

14:50 - What are some strategies for happiness?
18:12 - Why is it important to be in connection with the other to be a great leader?
21:49 - What are the important elements of building a connection with the other?

27:01 - Whatâs more important when connecting with your team and organisation â intellect or emotions? And how do we strike the right balance between them?

About In Search of Time
We talk about time all the time; in fact, it is the most used noun in the English language. Yet, we have a very limited understanding of what time really is and find it difficult to explain it. The clock itself has become essential in our lives and having a shared idea of what time is has been critical for the evolution of our societies.
However, time also comes with frustrations: we never seem to have enough of it during our busy days, we are bothered about our big life clock ticking too fast, and we are saddened by the lack of long-term considerations by decision makers. So, can we somehow maintain the good aspects of time and deal with the bad, by gaining a better perception of what time really is? This book looks at time through ten lenses in order to grasp a better understanding of it, as well as laying out the benefits of getting rid of our self-imposed bad time habits.
