The employee morale dance

  • Artículo

I've been reading up a lot on strategies to motivate employees and increase morale, and I ran across this article, which has the following in it:

1. Watch how you're standing. Men enjoy standing side by side when speaking to one another. Women enjoy facing each other while talking to one another. Women: When approaching a man, slowly position your torso at an angle to his torso to make him comfortable. Gentlemen, to make a woman comfortable, slowly move your torso so you're standing face to face with her to make her comfortable.

I just can't help but wonder what happens if you have a man and a woman who have both read this advice who need to talk to each other?

    Hah! It's also oddly inappropriate in a 'writer's love this' sorta way. Try as I might, my vigilant editor would never let something like, "slowly position your torso at an angle to his torso to make him comfortable" into a build. Imagine how that localizes!

    You've just invented dancing.
