You most likely have had the pleasure of “attending” as a “participant” ( willing or not) a sales and motivation session.
After all , business for most is bad if not terrible. Its never a fault of upper management. After all their perks are sacrosanct and given by the creator him or herself.
Many companies are showing increased bottom lines. Yet when financial analysts , evaluate the stock market and business data it seems, that it is not as a result of increased sales , or new product releases onto the marketplace but rather mainly due to staff and staffing reductions
Less people to pay on the office , factory or sales floor , hence revenue minus lower expenses yields a greater bottom line.
Wonderful – if you follow this logic GM and Chrysler must have the greatest management in the world whereas in essence while the bottom line increased steadily on the color graphs and charts the company was cannibalized , new product development and research halted , production reduced , and the best and most experienced staff let go.
If they were working for the company , rather than being on pension at least the firm would get some value for their money. What is left , if any staff are a bunch of innocuous ( to upper management ) “yes men”
Regardless of reality if you are lucky enough to attend the “moonie session” be prepared , regardless of the wordy themes ( building bridges with staff / suppliers , enhanced service levels in 2010, our customers are our future , our staff is most important to our success etc etc) be prepared to a session on “in 2010 you are Going to HAVE TO LEARN TO JUGGLE !”
Here for your benefit is a lesson on the “art of juggling” 101
Step 1 : Cascade ( One Scarf)
Begin with one scarf in your dominant hand. Hold it with your palm down , between your thumb , first and second fingers . The backs of your hands should be visible to you.
With a scooping motion from outside to inside, toss the scarf. It should go across the center line and peak about 8 inches above your head on the opposite side from which you threw it.
Catch it in your subordinate hand with your palm down.
