Lemon The Concept

Context

COVID-19 has not slowed down the pace of foolishness and folly on the corporate team building agenda. At a time when companies need effective strategies to recover from the economic turmil unleashed by measures to contain the spread of the coronavirus, fluffy activities have made their way to the virtual world.

In a desperate attempt to promote team bonding among remote teams, companies are spending heavily on virtual cocktail hours, trivia nights, magic shows, and even ukelele lessons. There is a place for fun on the corporate agenda but recreational activities will never eradicte the dysfunctional team dynamics that are foten intensified via interaction through virtual platforms.

Concept

This is the book I wish I could have pulled off the shelf during turbulent times: when the dotcom bubble burst, 9/11, SARS, 2008.

I was stressed when I felt my business was failing and worried about how I would provide for my family. The strategies the “experts” said were supposed to work failed.

This e-book will help YOU formulate a game plan to fuel the long-lasting success of your own business.
