About this listen
All children play but, over time, that instinct goes away. We don't lose it, we don't forget. Instead, we get taught to stop.
For author and toy designer Cas Holman, that's a problem. With a very real impact on business performance.
In this week's episode of The Mindtools L&D Podcast, Cas joins Ross G and Gemma to discuss:
- how traditional workplaces surpress play
- the business benefits of play at work
- how to encourage play when your organization won't tolerate it.
You can find out more about Cas and her book Playfulness at casholman.com/book. You can also see her in the Netflix series Abstract: The Art of Design.
In 'What I Learned This Week', Ross discussed peculiar experiments involving moths, via The Economist.
