Costco Shopping Challenge
Share
Sam Parr shares a story about a creative team building activity he ran at The Hustle involving Costco shopping.
"We had about 12 employees and we gave everyone $50. We said you can team up or do it on your own, but at the end we're going to vote. We had three awards: most useful gift, your favorite gift, and the most tasty gift. You had to try to win one of those awards."
The story demonstrates how Sam turned ordinary team building into something more engaging by adding a competitive element and clear rewards structure.
