The Vice President of Fun

At my last job, there was some discussion about how best to handle team-building and other extra-curricular activities. The rank and file hate what management comes up with, and management doesn’t trust the other ranks to come up with something reasonable.

So I came up with the VP of Fun. The idea was simple. A job that gets staffed by a new person every three months, and that person has to plan three events. They get a budget, some basic guidelines, a box business cards that have their exciting new title on them, and they go have fun with it.

Like so many of my ideas, it met with an enthusiastic response and was then ignored. I offer it gratis for anyone else to use.
