Every team of heroes has someone guiding them back in the cave, the lair, the command center, or the secret lab — the one who blends their superpowers, oversees business operations, guides the mission, ensures project execution, and keeps everything from going sideways.
That’s Connolly Works. We turn chaos into clarity

Everyone knows the tale of four people: Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody.
Well… this team is the modern remake of that story in the context of business operations.
Everybody knows their job and excels in their individual roles.
Somebody is always fixing something, inside their own bubble.
Anybody could help — if they knew what was happening within the whole team.
And Nobody is trying to cause problems… yet somehow, problems happen anyway.
It’s not a talent issue. It’s not a motivation issue. It’s not even a “people” issue. It’s a system issue.
Individually, they’re all heroes, contributing in their own way.
Together, they’re a little… off-script. They don’t need saving. They just need a system that helps them work as well together as they already do on their own.

Is sure they’ll hit their sales targets this month… lighting candles just in case.
Is certain they are the unsung heroes of the company.
Is sure Marketing is promoting a product we don’t actually sell.
Thinks Ops is a para-military organization and is genuinely afraid to ask questions.
Believes Leadership blames them for any disaster that occurs, natural or man-made.
Uses Chad like a Swiss Army Knife until something goes wrong — then suddenly they’ve never met Chad in their life.

Can quote The Lord of the Rings and Sex in the City from memory – and will.
Is certain they are the unsung heroes of the company.
Is sure that Sales 'hears me, but ignores me anyway'.
Thinks Ops needs to relax about deadlines (and maybe switch to decaf).
Fully believes Leadership has approved the new campaign (Leadership absolutely has not).
Uses Chad as a focus group of one, even though he eats lunch in his car.

Would love to get the project management plan in advance of launching, just once.
Is certain they are the unsung heroes of the company.
Is sure Sales is out there 'freelancing' our actual offers like rogue jazz musicians.
Believes Marketing is messing with them on purpose.
Thinks Leadership’s timelines violate several known laws of physics.
Is using Chad to test employee tracking devices, although he doesn’t know it.

Believes all passwords should include rune symbols, a blood test, and an oath of some kind.
Is certain they are the unsung heroes of the company.
Is sure the problem is always 'the user'.
Thinks Ops 'isn't the boss of them,' and will prove it.
Believes Leadership should be legally required to take a 'Basics of Computing' course.
Uses Chad as a test subject for software updates that 'should be fine.'

Calling them paranoid doesn’t mean you’re not over budget.
Is certain they are the unsung heroes of the company.
Is sure Sales is lying (Sales is not… just 'optimistic').
Believes the color red is more expensive than blue and Marketing should know this and use less red.
Is convinced Ops is hiding receipts as part of a planned coup.
Uses Chad as a human shield during budget season.

Had marketing set up her Instagram.
Is certain they are the unsung heroes of the company.
Sustained by vision, vibes, and anything color coded.
Talks to themselves in the hallway as they walk to the next meeting.
Leaves meeting looking like a missionary caught in the middle of an uprising.
Thinks Sales, Marketing, and Ops can get aligned with a team building Trust Fall.
Believes Finance is “too negative,” Ops is “too rigid,” and IT is “too literal.”
Using Chad as an emotional support human during all-hands meetings.

Is sure he works here, but also maybe not.
Is certain of absolutely nothing.
Thinks his “Let’s Do This!” hat communicates confidence.
Believes every meeting is mandatory.
Uses the table in the lobby as his desk.
Appears everywhere and belongs nowhere.
Knows "a little bit" about all the ongoing projects. And everyone's lunch order.
Is, somehow, everyone’s "go-to" support system, and yet, no one’s direct report.
Who's your "Chad"?

.....to be sure.
And they all have one thing in common, they are certain they are the unsung heroes of the company.
(Except for Chad)
They're all right... and they're all wrong.
You need each an every one.
They need each other.
They really should meet!
If you're in the Orlando, FL area, let's grab a coffee to discuss how we can help. If you're not nearby, we can connect by phone, email, or a Teams meeting. I'm even open to using carrier pigeon, although they struggle to carry my PowerPoint slides.
