Active Shooter Defense: Survival in Life and Business

December 11, 2015 by Chris Cassone Leave a Comment

 Fortune favors the prepared mind. Louis Pasteur For me, Mumbai was my tipping point. The coordinated terror attacks across the city in November of 2008 (has it been that long?) jarred me and many more into a new awareness for this world of terrorism as the norm: 164 slaughtered with 308 wounded.Then massacre the Westgate Mall…

Virtual Reality is Changing Everything

December 2, 2015 by Chris Cassone Leave a Comment

My better half gave it to me and I said, “Ah, they’re just trying to sell you something.” She got the last laugh as the “it” was a Google Cardboard headset, free in the Sunday NY Times. For reasons yet explainable I started to assemble the viewer by folding the corrugated cardboard as per the…

Procul Harum is Some Team

November 23, 2015 by Chris Cassone Leave a Comment

A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves. Lao Tzu I’ve been hammering home the lessons of effective team unity for the last year and that’s a good thing. SEAL Team Six, Mt. Everest climbers, even brainstorming at…

Escape Rooms At Any Meeting

November 2, 2015 by Chris Cassone 3 Comments

  You are locked in a room with up to nine other people. They could be known to you but chances are they are strangers. The group is given 60 minutes to find the key to the door by discovering clues that lead to puzzles that reveal “meta-puzzles.” Solve those larger brain teasers and you…

Group Creativity with Espresso

October 23, 2015 by Chris Cassone Leave a Comment

Fascinating. In his “Where Good Ideas Come From,” Steve Johnson‘s TED talk is a must-watch (multiple times at that) as he explains the environment that suits creativity: tight spaces that allow our “hunches to collide” with others.  His thesis is that the Enlightenment was propelled by the tight seating in the emerging English coffee houses…

Positive Affirmations: Napoleon Hill to John Lennon

September 30, 2015 by Chris Cassone 1 Comment

I know.  You’ve heard enough about Napoleon Hill and his best selling self-help handbook, “Think And Grow Rich.” You have had it up to here with the trans-generational do-it-yourself millionaire advice that you’re not even going to read it. Or maybe you did read it, and you “thought,” and you never got rich.  Well, to…

Extreme Risk Taking: Everest to Wall Street

September 25, 2015 by Chris Cassone Leave a Comment

  In the 80’s and 90’s extreme risk taking through team building was the rage. Executives were kayaking down rapids, zipping across zip lines, scrambling over Project Adventure walls and, yes, climbing mountains – all for the purpose of teaching team effectiveness. In time, cooler heads prevailed, as did higher liability premiums and the extreme…

The Grease Pole: Team Lessons at an Italian Feast

September 18, 2015 by Chris Cassone Leave a Comment

When I was eight I was first introduced to team effectiveness. Our parish, Corpus Christi, in the New York suburb of Port Chester, held the feast of St. Anthony every summer which had a carnival every night. Music, games of chance, rides, even a spaghetti eating contest, were all part of the action. But one…

Amazon, “Survivor” and True Team Building

September 11, 2015 by Chris Cassone Leave a Comment

What happens when you love a company’s product but then glimpse how the sausage is made behind the curtain?  In our family, we’ve grown to rely upon Amazon for so much fulfillment.  I still miss the old Lighthouse bookstore of my youth in Rye, NY with its stacks to the ceiling, easy chair for browsing and…

The Art in Team Building

August 12, 2015 by Chris Cassone Leave a Comment

The summer of 2006 was notable because Paul McCartney finally turned 64, a little known company launched its new idea called Twitter and Pluto was demoted from the Nine Planet Club. It was also the summer of the DaVinci Code. Dan Brown’s riveting mystery-detective novel was everywhere (since then it has surpassed 40 million sales.)…
