Professional football and basketball leagues have such a divide between players and owners that they seriously consider eliminating or truncating entire seasons of play. Politicians in Washington are so polarized and steeped in self-interest that they almost let an entire nation default. What the heck is going on in our world? Why can’t groups that have every incentive in the world to cooperate, come to sensible agreements that keep actions moving forward? Why all the drama? Perhaps that is it – drama. People seem to thirst for it these days. What I propose is a workplace drama reduction program (WDRP). How does that sound to you? If you have an interest in participating in the WDRP movement consider embracing a leadership tool known as a working agreement. It helps people share their expectations of each other, while building trust and integrity. Many organizations have created working agreements. Perhaps it is time for the word to spread.
