Many years ago I worked on a summer camp in the USA. The camp was run by Morry and Amy Stein. Morry was an amazing guy. Not only was he a smart businessman, but he was also an inspiring leader. The camp had around 500 children and a sizeable number of staff. I got the impression that he knew everyone by their first name, and the ethos of the camp was very positive; encouraging everyone to have a go at things, even if you fell flat on your face. It was in this spirit that I found myself dressed in drag in a lime green and chocolate polka dot 2 piece outfit and heels, singing a number at a show review in front of the entire camp. Morry had the ability to make you do things that you didn’t think possible!
Whilst I am not suggesting that getting your staff to dress in drag is the secret to success in business, believing that your staff can surpass their own expectations enhances performance.
