Answer these five questions to see if Winter is nipping at your team:
- Are mornings like the opening scene from Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood with everyone swapping their boots for the “work” shoes they left under their desks? (Except no one’s singing.)
- Does coffee time mean a full-on break? (Email requires both hands to be free, not wrapped around a steamy mug.)
- When it comes to space heaters, is it every woman for herself?
- Are slouchy beanies are being worn in the office even on good hair days?
- Is the holiday party planning committee starting to panic about not having any great ideas? (If you don’t want to be their hero, don’t click this link.)
If you answered “yes” to any of those questions, early winter is sinking its teeth into your team.
