Description
The Lawnchair Motivation ModelSM was inspired by a true story about an individual in Southern California who hooked 45 helium weather balloons to a regular lawn chair. His goal was to lift the lawn chair 30 feet into the air. Though it wasn’t his intention, he rose to 16,000 feet—into the path of commercial airliners.
We will discuss how filling certain “balloons” gives our teams a lift. At the same time, we have to pay attention to sandbags that may drag them down. As managers, we need to fill balloons and empty sandbags to create successful teams.
