Are company retreats in danger of becoming the equivalent of running a sprinkler system in the rain?? These gatherings aren?t necessarily about creative thought but rather getting people to fall in line with predetermined company outcome.
It?s not a good use of time or an organization?s brain power.? Perhaps the cause is that the higher ups are worried that the session will evolve into a complaint session worthy of daytime television.
A retreat should be about stepping away from the everyday affairs and taking a big picture approach to a challenge.
Instead of a determined outcome, a successful organization needs to have a focused topic.? Would employees be more engaged if they were asked, ?What do we do well and how can we do more of it??
The members of your team are resources.? Tap into their knowledge, goals, and dreams to transform your organization.
