Still basking in that Valentine’s Day afterglow? Looking to start your workweek with a smile?
Enjoy Terrence Gargiuolo’s beautiful, brief video, Organizational Relationships.
Terrence kicks off by asking some thought-provoking questions about technology and whether it has brought us closer together or hindered relationships. He wonders whether we can fulfill our basic human need for connection within organizations, workplaces. One way we can, of course, is by sharing stories — carefully.
Some words and ideas from the video:
There may be no short cuts to forming relationships but the shortest distance between two people is a story.
Draw the stories of people around corporate imperatives and watch how people are drawn to each other and become more engaged performers.
Be vigilant in your story endeavors. The path to relationships is wrought with traps… We tend to see the stories we expect. Tell the stories we need. And only listen when we need to make sense.
By the way, Terrence offers some other nice videos on Vimeo.
