Shared Story and Teamwork

Posted on January 21st, 2010 by tim bursch. Filed under story, team.

I found out about The Pants on the Ground video from my son. He saw it at a friends. Hilarious.

I talked about it with another friend, showed it to my wife and daughter. More laughter. So everyone’s talking about General Larry Platt and his song. We are sharing this story.
I then clicked on a link in twitter for the video above and being Viking’s fans, I roared some more. These guys are sharing the same story.

So, what happens to a business team when they share a common story? Probably not the manly pats, but fun? Sure. What if you shared one fun story each week with your team? And then you found some application together? Larry did not give up. He didn’t care about his age. How about when a prospect says no? Have fun with that and find another prospect.

A story connects people. It can bring out joy and smiles. What do you do to connect your team?

Thanks for reminding us that shared stories bring us together. They give us something in common and the more we have in common, the better. Always thought provoking and real. Thanks, Tim.
