How Giving Back Brings Your Team Together: The Power of Shared Experiences | Jason Piasecki - E12
Did you know that a die-hard baseball fan and CEO of a marketing agency took his team on a 24-hour marketing marathon to give back to the community? But here's the unexpected twist: this CEO's team-building strategy involves not just typical team retreats, but real-time, high-stakes client work! Jason Piasecki, the partner and CEO of Revel, brings his unique marketing expertise to his passion for team dynamics. With a love for baseball and a commitment to his company's values of humility, hunger, curiosity, and helpfulness, Jason's approach to team building is both engaging and impactful. His dedication to sharing weekly "Monday Morning Revelations" filled with baseball analogies and stories reflects his genuine and personable coaching style, making him a valuable voice in the realm of team building.
Key Takeaways:
- Involving employees in the process of creating company values fosters a sense of ownership and alignment with the organization's mission. Employees who contribute to defining company values are more likely to embody them in their daily work and interactions. This collaborative approach promotes a unified team culture based on shared values and mutual understanding.
- Experiential team-building activities play a crucial role in fostering team engagement and cohesion. Through these activities, team members have the opportunity to bond, communicate effectively, and develop trust. Such experiences contribute to creating a positive and collaborative team dynamic.
- A strong employer brand showcases the company's values, culture, and commitment to employee growth and development. By focusing on employer branding, creative agencies can differentiate themselves in the competitive talent market.
