In the early days at Opex Analytics, we accidentally discovered a great way to build strong relationships. Early on, when we had about 20 people, we wanted to spend time at a company meeting helping people become better public speakers. We came up with the idea of having everyone do a 5-minute presentation on any topic they wanted. We wanted the talks to be interesting, so we stressed that the topic should be important to the person and not about business.
Thanks, Mike. I will share this story and experience with other leaders who are looking to strengthen their organizational culture.
My personal favorite was "Red Sweater" by Pradeep.
