The Monday Morning Memo

Dr. Bob Nelson has worked with 80% of the Fortune 500 companies and he wants to play a game. It’s called, “Two Business Truths and a Lie.” Which of these three statements is false?

  1. Thomas Alva Edison once said: “I never did a day’s work in my life. It was all fun.”
  2. Owners and CEOs who “let loose” in the office often lose the respect of their employees.
  3. One secret of Google’s success has been their office Nerf-gun battles.

Playing games and encouraging others to have a good time at work is a passion for Dr. Bob Nelson. This week, he and roving reporter Rotbart go head-to-head to see which of them has the more finely tuned lie detector. But don’t worry, it’s always all in fun at MondayMorningRadio.com.

Random Quote:

“Friendship bartering works like this: I share a piece of me with you, and you share a piece of you with me in return.

Although at times it felt risky, these are the best deals I’ve made over the years.

This is how it goes. If I trust a friend and want to strengthen our relationship, I share a personal part of my life that has emotional capital. He or she listens. At times, my friend responds. Other times, he or she may just listen intently. Often, I feel a weight lifted or a sense of loneliness dissipate. I might receive a piece of knowledge that improves my perspective. Almost always, I feel unconditional support.

A door has opened. My friend now feels safe. It may be the next day or weeks later when my friend confides in me. Now it’s my turn to be an honest and supportive receiver. I may have something substantial to offer. I may not. It makes little difference. Our friendship has reached a higher level due to mutual trust and sharing.

This kind of bartering has made my life richer. I’ve rarely been burned. Instead, I’ve gained greater perspective on important issues in my life and cemented intimate friendships that have lasted a lifetime.”
