Welcome!

After you have an interaction with _________, do you feel energized, neutral, or deenergized?  If you were to ask each member of your group or organization this question about the other members, you'd be able to generate an energy "map," and the map would show that there are some very dense clusters of energy, and some more diffuse areas.  You could also generate a "deenergy map," which would show how people are connected to deenergizing individuals.
You'd also likely find a very interesting and important connection:  Those dense clusters of individuals who energize each other are the most productive areas of the group!
As you read this, it certainly sounds like common sense, but there aren't many groups that focus on this phenomenon as a key to success.
My objective is to share stories and research that will provide tools for accomplishing these things:
  1. Recognizing how really powerful and predictive these "energized clusters" are of success.
  2. Understanding what it means to be an energizer for others.
  3. Understanding what it takes to become an energizer--and do it!
