Work got you down? Morale in the toilet? Company not meeting your needs? Customers irritating you?
Take a quick Recess and play WWSSD – What Would Steve Slater Do?
Here’s the idea……Come up with as many off the wall solutions as possible to the thing nagging you most. Don’t act on any of them. Just laugh at them. Write them down. Perhaps throw them in your idea compilation system (see yesterday’s blog post.)
Now when the time is right take a look at all the ideas written and laughed about. I wouldn’t be surprised if in those zany thoughts is a next great idea to engage employees and perhaps create an even greater customer experience. Look deep and imagine the possibilities.
Now go grab a beer.
But seriously folks….people are talking about this. And undoubtedly the conversation will go back to how their work environment has its sucky components too. What a golden opportunity for communication. Use it.
