Back in my junior year, fueled by a lifelong love of the Muppets 🐸 🐻 🐷, I convinced three friends to join me in a particularly interesting audition for our school's annual variety show.
Our song of choice? "The Rhyming Song" (https://lnkd.in/emtu6Rfu), a completely nonsensical masterpiece where, well, nothing actually rhymes 🤷♀️
If my memory serves, our director stopped us and asked... "What was thaaat???" But we spent weeks talking about it, laughing and "rehearsing." It was a testament to the power of shared passion, camaraderie, and, let's be honest, embracing the absurd.
Speaking of Muppet magic, who else has watched the new documentary "Jim Henson: Idea Man" on Disney+? It's a masterclass in creativity, perseverance, and building a phenomenal team.
One thing that truly struck me was Henson's ability to attract a cast of wildly talented, wonderfully weird individuals who shared his vision 👯 🛀 🤥
So in honor of the new documentary and my own Muppet Mania here are a few Henson-inspired takeaways to cultivate a strong team culture:
1️⃣ Embrace the Oddballs (I'm not just saying this because I am one...): Look for people who bring unique perspectives and a touch of the unexpected.
2️⃣ Shared Passion is Power: Build a team around a common goal that excites everyone.
3️⃣ Laughter is the Best Stress Reliever: Don't be afraid to have fun and find humor in the journey.
So, the next time you're building a team, remember: a little Muppet madness can go a long way! #Muppets #Teamwork #Creativity #JimHenson
