I had a brain wave while watching High School Musical's Troy and Gabriela on ice tonight (btw, how the heck they can run basketball drills, play baseball and drive a golf buggy all on ice defies belief...)
We have our management team offsite on Monday and I have decided that the song list from High School Musical 1 & 2 actually maps pretty well to any business planning session. I am actually going to sing and dance during the entire offsite. Check out the below and try and punch holes in it...
- Start of Something New = New fiscal year...
- Get'cha Head in the Game = Mgmt team needs to stay focused
- What I've Been Looking For = My favorite pen - it rolled under my desk and just disappeared...
- Stick to the Status Quo = What to avoid...
- Bop to the Top = Change to "Poop to the top"?
- We're All in This Together = Importance of team work
- I Can't Take My Eyes Off of You = OK, this is a tough one...the co -founder is my wife...
- What Time Is It? = Importance of time management
- Fabulous = Everyone and everything at "g"
- Work This Out = Conflict resolution
- You Are the Music in Me = For the co-founder again
- Humuhumunukunukuapua'a = Expansion to Hawaiian market?
- I Don't Dance = That's just a fact. Ask anyone
- Bet on It = That's what the investors appear to be doing
- Everyday = Business never stops
- All for One = Team work 101
- Counting on You = That's you management team and entire gTeam...
