“Your Career is an Extreme Sport”
Look like rather than sticking with their normal sports-analogies, the Americans have decided to take it one step further and start using extreme sports camparisons for describing their goals, mission statements and roles in the business world.
Someone’s written a book with the above title, detailing the extreme sports skills relevant to the workplace, including eskimo rolls and halfpipes - showing how high-risk sport skills can be transferred to business and management. Which is somewhat reminicent of the Red Bull offices, where they have slides instead of stairs, which could be considered risky enough for some of the less fit workers in many offices.
The closest we get to extreme-sports in the office at Bluezeal, is occassionally riding a scooter from desk to desk and inventing competitions involving our mini-slinkies (so far i’ve managed to hit myself in the face with mine, dunk it in my tea, and break it in half).
