Steve Rix brings energy and passion to the importance of play in leadership.
Steve asks a poignant question. Are you more likely to find the qualities of timeless energy, emotional safety, high levels of imagination, and connectivity with others, in your workplace or in the playground?
Often it's the playground, and as such traits are valuable at work, Steve recommends incorporating play in the office to ease tensions and break down barriers.
You might find Steve's ideas fun and enlightening or crazy. Either way, your perspectives will be challenged as Steve provides insights and examples as to why play matters.
