3-Unconventional Steps to Solving Any Problem in Business (Hint: Have something to lose, Puzzles and Competition)
photo cred: Dave Austria
in a recent staff meeting
on bouncy balls instead of chairs
and chi machines
instead of masseuses
at city of sass,
i learned a very interesting lesson
about managing folks for results.
it was a team-wide meeting
sales, digital, production and marketing.
the meeting was a 2-hour block of time,
longer than i’d like,
but much info to cover.
during the first 90-minutes
the solutions for a few challenges
we had in our marketing and sales departments
were slow to come.
not a lot of ideating,
not a lot of ideas.
the meeting was a bit flat.
then,
everything shifted.
the Internet went out.

it seems to me
we have a very interesting

that challenge
has been amplified
because of the death
of trayvon martin.

is not necessarily racism
itself,
it’s more the acknowledgement
that racism exists
in 2012.
