Puppies don’t analyze or judge. They don’t calculate ROI before showing enthusiasm. They engage fully, completely present.
Your team craves that exact authenticity.
Leaders chase sophisticated engagement strategies while missing this fundamental truth: humans respond to genuine connection. The metrics-driven approach to culture often overlooks what matters most – permission to bring unfiltered joy to work.
What if tomorrow you approached your team with a puppy-like presence? There would be no agenda beyond genuine interest, no strategic positioning, just curiosity, attention, and delight in their existence.
The best leaders understand this isn’t frivolous – it’s foundational. When people feel genuinely seen, they give more than their compliance; they give their creativity and commitment.
Try it. Five minutes of undiluted attention might deliver more value than your last strategic initiative.
