Hi everybody, Louis Carter here, and I'm here to show you my new book, Game On, by my friend Arthur Carmazzi. So I'm an organization culture global guru like Arthur, and I could say this is a great book because it's one thing to talk about organizational culture and to implement it and to align groups and to do the, the work of creating culture with people. It's another to make it fun.. And Game On does just that. It's the psychology of fun. It's the practical to-dos about fun, how to create that fun in, in, in your organization when you're doing organizational culture. I think that's so important to have fun while we're doing this, right? Why, why do it any other way than to have fun? What is going to hold people's attention otherwise? Create something stale and boring and blueprint and this and that? No. Arthur doesn't let that happen, and he has cool things like the no-blame zone. Who doesn't need the no-blame zone? And he goes through specifics, really, as you can see, how— in terms of the how-to do it, right? These are— he has how-tos in his book too. And, uh, you just sort of— it's just really this kind of an amazing way of thinking about organizational culture that is a game, because a game has fun elements, right? And The elements that he brings in are quite different. There's one on belonging and love, right? So things that you wouldn't typically see in the run-of-the-mill organizational culture realm is in Game On. I believe very much in this work of Arthur Carmazzi. Partner with him as well. Consider him to be a good friend, and I recommend his book, Game On. Game On. Check it out. Get the book on Amazon. Terrific guy, terrific book, great practical examples. Highly recommended.
