Jason Lauritsen is the CEO of Connected Performance Group and an advisor to leaders who are tired of choosing between results and their people. He works with growing organizations to fix the systems that drive performance so they can scale without losing their culture.
Earlier in his career, Jason served as a corporate executive, where he helped double revenue per employee while cutting employee turnover in half. That experience showed him what is possible when performance systems are designed to support what people need to do their best work. Later, he led Best Places to Work programs across North America, where he could study these dynamics at scale. It was through this work that he identified a consistent pattern: people experience work as a relationship, and that relationship is powered by connection.
Jason developed the Connected Performance System to turn the insight that work is a relationship into a practical way of working. By strengthening connection at work through clearer leadership, better alignment, and more supportive management, the system helps people feel grounded, trusted, and accountable. When that happens, execution improves, people stay, and organizations achieve strong results without exhausting the people doing the work.
Jason is the author of Unlocking High Performance and Social Gravity. His work has been featured in Forbes and Fast Company. He is also a dynamic keynote speaker and presenter known for pairing provocative insight with practical guidance leaders can apply immediately.
