Do you believe in participation trophies? While I understand the arguments that participation ribbons and trophies provide a sense of accomplishment and motivation, I feel giving a trophy simply for participating undermine the value of competition and hard work. I mean, doesn’t a trophy merely for participating (aka minimal effort) essentially foster a sense of entitlement? I also wonder how this participation trophy-for-everyone approach might impact us later as adults… I’m curious – what are your thoughts on participation trophies? What is your approach when it comes to recognition and rewards for your employees or even your kids? Share below! #recognition #participationtrophies

In the below picture, there is a great lesson hidden, even if it hasn't happened! The person in charge of organizing dog speed competitions brought a cheetah for variety, but to everyone's surprise, during the competition, the cheetah didn't move from its place, and the dogs were running with all their might... The cheetah just watched. When asked why the cheetah didn't participate in the competition, the person gave an interesting answer: Sometimes, trying to prove that you are the best is an insult to yourself! It's not always necessary to prove yourself to everyone, everywhere. Sometimes, silence is the best response. If you are confident that you have chosen the right path, continue on it; it doesn't matter what others think about you, you don't need to constantly prove yourself.

Remember the days of egg drops and relay races? If your team is distributed and looking for some fun ways to get out of the office, check out our top 10 outdoor team building ideas, curated by our Games team. 🌳 If you don't have a basketball court, grab a ball and a trash can and play a game of H-O-R-S-E. Team 1 tries to make a difficult shot and Team 2 has to recreate it. If your team misses their shot, you get a letter. The first team to spell H-O-R-S-E loses, but gets to pick the next game! For more ideas on where that came from, read the blog here 👉 https://lnkd.in/egABNSaM
