It might be that the organisers are just caught up in a conventional mould and do not allow themselves to act differently. This attitude will not give them the opportunity to reflect on their behaviour. Others play the same game because they want to feel part of the group. There’s probably also a feeling of power that they don’t want to let go.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, to create the feeling of having attended a concert; ie being energised, inspired, relaxed, it’s probably not an easy thing to do in a working atmosphere. You would first have to be creative and feel the need and have the energy to do things differently; ie, create a new environment to encourage staff to express themselves fully. This might be easier to do for someone new, who has a fresh mind and is not playing power games. This is probably a risky challenge but worth the try.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
