Radio Show #635 How Leaders Can Turn Disengaged Teams into Connected Ones
Thursday, 23 April, 2026
Guest: Tom Krieglstein: CEO of Swift Kick Leadership Most organizations treat engagement like a checklist. Run a survey, share the results, hope something changes. But real engagement isn’t a program you roll out. It’s a culture you build, one interaction at a time. In this episode, Tom Krieglstein, CEO of Swift Kick Leadership and creator of Dance Floor Theory, shares a practical, behavior-driven framework for how leaders at every level can turn disengaged teams into connected ones. Drawing from his work with organizations like Apple, Coca-Cola, and the US Navy, Tom breaks down why connection is the foundation of engagement, and what managers can do right now to create environments where people actually want to show up and contribute. Tom Krieglstein is the founder of Swift Kick Leadership, a speaking and facilitation company specializing in leadership development and team engagement. He is the creator of Dance Floor Theory and the Culture of Connection framework, which have been used to train over one million leaders across 850+ organizations worldwide. An 8-time National Speaking Award winner and TEDx speaker, Tom works with corporations, universities, and associations to help leaders move people from apathy to action. His approach is grounded in the belief that engagement starts with connection, and that small, intentional leadership behaviors create the conditions for high-performing teams.
