Friends Don't Let Friends Do Teambuilding

Oct 25

I got this enigmatic note from the JT International News Wire:

It’s fun because it’s true. It’s sad because it’s true. Don’t let it be true about you.

Click here to see the video it references. Friends don’t let friends do teambuilding.

    Oooooooh, been there . . .

    VERY well done spot, however. Great casting, good writing, and I’ve been in that room (wherever it is).

    Thanks, Frank.

  2. Frank Roche says:

    John, you and me both, brother. LOL.

  3. Wally Bock says:

    I think of it as the “Californiazation” of business.

  4. Frank Roche says:

    Wally, that’s so funny. It’s the gimmicks that sell too often. Nuts.

  5. Too good not to pass along. Thanks.

  6. I’ve only done teambuilding at one previous company. All the games in the world couldn’t make my manager respect me!

  7. This is starting to get pretty big! Corporations and smaller companies are starting to take hold of this idea of creating Team Building experiences for their employees.
