Shake things up and improve your team’s performance.

Imagine walking into your office and finding:

🙇‍♂️ The introverted finance manager fumbling through a sales pitch.
💃 The flamboyant sales leader working with the engineering team's problems.
🙋🏼 The diplomatic HR manager in charge of supply chain operations.

Sounds like chaos, right?

But what if I told you this role-swap could boost your team's productivity by 40%? I've seen it happen.

Here's how it works:

🎩 Throw each team member’s job role in a hat.
🤏 Then have each team member draw a new role for the day.
🪄 Watch the magic unfold.

The team develops a sense of shared objectives and common ground.
↳ It’s simple.
↳ The results are interesting.
↳ Everyone's got fresh eyes.

Want to give it a shot?

Here are four quick tips:
1️⃣ It works best with teams of less than eight people.
2️⃣ Start small – Half-day swaps.
3️⃣ One-page
are useful.
4️⃣ Rewards for lightbulb moments.

I know it sounds odd! And you're right, it is a bit out there. But that's the point.

The controlled chaos challenges assumptions and unleashes creativity.

And, in the world of high achievement team leaders who dare to think differently end up leading the pack.

Are you ready to do that?

What's really going on

“ … all of us hold on tightly to many things we don’t really have.” This line from Patrick Rhone’s book - This Could Help - got me thinking about our attitudes toward pipelines, relationships, and services.

Think Different

I love it when there's a seemingly Unreasonable Agenda. The Apple Think Different campaign epitomised this. Just look at the change makers: Albert Einstein: Questioned absolute space-time. Bob Dylan: Reimagined song meanings poetically. Martin Luther King Jr.: Envisioned equality beyond segregation. Richard Branson: Ignored business conventions fearlessly.
