Subject: Thank you!
Craig,
I just received your gift
basket, and wanted to take a minute to say thank you for it... Quite nice
of you! It also reminded me that a thank you note to you and Kasey (our
facilitator for the Team Builder) is long overdue.
We had our meeting the
14th of January, and it went better than I ever could have expected. I
have 12 store Asset Protection Managers in Washington, Idaho, and
Montana. Our team has struggled in the last 6 months with communication,
and rapport, due mostly to the geographic restrictions. The team was not
comfortable with their peers, because they saw them simply as a group of
people that they met with a few times a year. I was frustrated by this,
because the depth of talent and experience that they each possessed was
going to waste; they were not sharing it with each other, and learning
from each other.
The sole purpose of the
meeting in January was to try and get the team to familiarize themselves
with each other, and build on that over time so that there was a solid
working relationship, and a network of resources for each Manager. Kasey
was there for the first day of the meeting, and had about 4 hours with the
team. In that time we played several games, all of which were geared
towards making the team step out of their comfort zones, and work with
each other. But before we even started, Kasey asked what the goal of the
activities was supposed to be, as well as about individual personalities
and attitudes. He made sure from the outset that he was going to meet my
expectations, as well as tailor his work to the group; the rest of the
day was a lot of fun for us. I believe the consensus favorites were "Big
Booty" and "Zoom, Schwarz, Pafigliano" :o)
I was extremely pleased
with the way our meeting went, and with the way that Kasey handled the
group. They are a great group of people, but getting a group of hardened
security managers to rap "Big Booty, Big Booty, Big Booty, uh-HUH" is no
small feat! He was energetic and positive the whole afternoon, and I
received several compliments from the team on how well he kept the day
moving, and kept it all interesting. I will, without hesitation, be
recommending SpoComedy Team Builders to my peers here at Target. I know
if my team is still talking, and laughing, about their experience, that it
was time well spent. It was a great way to lay the groundwork for our
meeting, and the next 2 days went fantastic.
Thank you again for the
gift basket, and for Kasey; I appreciate both!
Best,
