Teamwork analogies are everywhere. They are in your coffee shops, at your favorite sporting event, and even in your home. Although we agree that showing 9 seconds of video where a race car pit crew replaces an entire car during a race is impressive, it’s also a tired analogy. So, the new teamwork analogy approved by the Teamwork Branding Team (TBT) uses videos where people help each other up a very tall, usually wooden, wall.

Learning: Please replace all Pit Crew imagery with people climbing walls for your next presentation.

Suppose you enter an office, and it has the standard Motivational posters showcasing rowers rowing with the word “Teamwork” underneath it or a picture of a Mountain with the words “Bravery” or “Vision.” In that case, our advice is to run. Fast. It’s the 2020s (check the calendar), and we are way beyond this false motivational garbage.

If you need to put these posters up, please feel free to go here instead.
