The author describes the profound changes happening in today's workplaces due to upheaval caused by the Covid‐19 pandemic. However, significant progress has been made in the field of relationship psychology that can inform leaders about new ways to manage employee engagement during and after times of crisis. The article expands on the idea that psychologists have developed a "self‐expansion model" that highlights the sources of engagement and underlying motivations that drive employees to fully commit to and identify with their organizations. The model has two principles: (1) At a fundamental level, people are motivated to increase their ability to achieve goals by acquiring new knowledge, developing new skills, obtaining new resources, and expanding their identity. (2) People use close relationships with others as a means to self‐expand, by incorporating others into their own sense of "self."Two self‐expansion psychological tools are described: the Self‐Expansion Preference Scale, developed by Erin Hughes, Erica Slotter, and Gary Lewandowski; and a workplace self‐expansion tool developed by Kevin McIntyre, Brent Mattingly, Annie Simpson, and Gary Lewandowski. The author presents 10 actions that leaders can apply with their teams, including offering time off for self‐care, and making a habit of of compassionate listening. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article explains the Slingshot Method, a way to make sense of, and then intentionally design and create lives of significance. I drew deeply from my own career as a corporate executive, entrepreneur and investor including as founding team member of Accenture Ventures, a $1 Billion corporate ventures fund at Accenture; and as President, CEO and Chairman of a data analytics company, where I led large change management engagement including for the U.S Department of Defense. I also led global Mergers and Acquisitions for Thomson Reuters, and the development of emerging technologies at Oracle and Intelsat.
