August 2 is …

National Ice Cream Sandwich Day. And since that falls on a Sunday this year, many people will be celebrating it on Monday, August 3.

So grab a box and deliver a sandwiches desk to desk, to each of your colleagues. Buy a box and deliver to a client. Pass a box around at a staff meeting. Compare the way people eat them. Bite by bite – or licking around the edges. It has nothing to do with business. And that’s just the point. Something different. A bit of fun. To loosen things up. Break the tension. Break down walls.

While all of this might seem like nonsense, there’s a real good chance that it will help you with some serious business like boosting productivity, morale, the economy – even customer loyalty.

There is certainly wisdom in all of that.
