Many of us visit theme parks during the summer. Part of the fun is experiencing different lands throughout our journey. The food, scenery and costumes generate a different flavor and feeling in each.
What land do you visit most often?
- TomorrowLand Being in the present is difficult. You live for tomorrow and things will be better when ________ happens.
- FrontierLand You are a pioneer and risk taker. You enjoy exploring, initiating change or being the first to own a new gadget.
- AdventureLand Life is an adventure. You create excitement and have a spirit and curiosity about the world.
- NostalgiaLand You tend to reminisce about the past. It is hard to accept change or new ideas. “We didn’t do it like that,” is a favorite saying.
In our organizations people live in these and other lands. Their values and behaviors reflect these places. By understanding where others reside and where we are most comfortable, we can create bridges to visit other lands. We can bridge gaps and create connections.
By generating open discussions about lands, you might have as much fun and excitement as spending a day at the theme park.
