Intro
No CEO or board is going to sign off on a project to make work more playful. This is because the misconception that play = games persists.
The reality, however, is that more play at work will lead to more effective teams and better collaboration.
Pauline McNulty joins me in this episode to explain why play, enjoyment, engagement, and purpose are all faces of the same die. When we roll it, they are all possible outcomes and they are all connected.
If we are bringing a group together to deliver on a goal (or goals), the opportunity for play is inescapable. It’s up to us to embrace it — and Pauline explains how and why that’s such a good idea.
