strategic play

Lets face it, people love to play and have fun. And everyone wants to be happy. We will often ask a room full of people, “Who here has ever gone to a meeting, workshop, training, or offsite and left thinking ’That was a total waste of my time?’” You can imagine how many hands go up—almost all of them. When we ask, “Who here woke up today and said, ’Yay! I get to go to that event,’” people usually laugh and it is rare to get a hand raise. If someone does raise their hand, it is usually the new guy in the back because this is his first one. And yet no one questions that we continue to afford wasting time, energy, or resources like this.

Book Summary
Additional Information

We want to help break this pattern as people begin to recognize we should all be lifelong learners and that we learn best when we play. We want to make this a circle, not a line. We can play to learn, apply the lessons to our work, and reflect at any iterative stage in the process. We can play and reflect, we can learn and reflect, and we can work and learn. Play is directly linked to decreasing stress levels. And when people play they allow themselves to take more risks. People need a break from taking themselves too seriously. They need to have fun and be happy.
