Innovation & happiness at workduring meetings
Connect: After you start a meeting, every participant will close their cell phones and greet each other.
Be active: After you finished one topic in a meeting, everyone may take a 30 sec break for some exercise
Take notice: After one person describes a controversial topic, you take a deep breath and smile before speaking
Keep learning: After the meeting ended, participants open a file named “what have I learned from this meeting?”
Give: After the formal meeting ends, one participant will give a couple of minutes talk about a topic of interest to him that is not part of the main activity of the company
So ... Why do we work ?
Thanks
