The Connection Quotient

In this world, interconnectivity is in crisis. Functionality and financial rewards seemingly guide our working relations and are affecting our ability to relate through others and ourselves. The human perspective seems to be lost, leading to divided and less productive teams and organizations.

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 'hard on the ball, and soft on the individual.'

"The Connection Quotient shows us how bringing humanity to our workplaces and our relationships creates sustainable business results - and ultimately a more positive world. Marco Buschman is a champion for all leaders who put humanity first, day after day – and a challenger to those who do not." - Mike Carson, Partner, McKinsey & Co, Founding Partner, Aberkyn and author of The Manager – Inside the Minds of Football’s Leaders (Winchester, United Kingdom)

"The Connection Quotient provides the reader with many references and practical tools to expand their leadership effectiveness. Starting from individual consciousness, Marco Buschman offers frameworks for reflection, exercises for personal discovery and shares his experience as a consultant and coach of executives and senior teams for those that want to lead teams, organizations and the larger context." - Felipe Paiva, Partner, Artisan Consultoria (Rio de Janeiro, Brasil)

"Being a good ancestor today demands us to connect to build better futures for tomorrow. In The Connection Quotient, Marco invites us into a structured conversation where we can explore what connection means as a practice. It’s playful and sincere; emotional and rational; fun and hard work: Like many of the best things life has to offer." - Charlie Ursell, Head of Advisory, Watershed Partners (Victoria, British Columbia, Canada)
