A New Year’s Eve Wish & Brainteaser

December 31, 2009 · Filed Under Be a Better Manager, Parking Lot · Comment 

We send you this wish (below) for tonight.

And for those looking for ways to be a better manager…we invite you to share it with your team.  Just a little something to inject a bit of fun and frivolity into the last day of the year.

****

Hoping you have a great New Year’s celebration tonight, but that you avoid the situation shown in Brainteaser of the Week #7.

Sending best wishes for a fun but safe New Year’s Eve.

Jan

One way to be a better manager is to run better meetings.  Use one or more of our brainteasers to start or revive or end a meeting. A great way to shift the brain, spark new energy, maybe even cause a giggle or a smile. All of which can help you boost morale and productivity.
