For almost 30 years, Game On Nation has been recognized as one of the most respected firms in teamwork and communication training, working with high-performance corporations, organizations, military groups, leagues, and teams. Game On’s proven, improv-based curriculum is designed to amplify connection, communication, and collaboration skills through tangible, interactive exercises and techniques.
This week, we’re laughing (and learning) with the Game On crew! Steve Shenbaum is joined by Director of Curriculum Chris Friday and Director of Programs Erin Watson for a conversation inspired by Erin’s blog, “Lessons from the Linen Closet.”
What starts as a lighthearted debate about towel-folding quickly becomes a mirror for how we lead ourselves and others—when preferences turn into rigid rules, micromanagement hides behind “standards,” and innovation gets shut down because it doesn’t look polished.
The takeaway? Strong leadership—and strong partnerships—require flexibility, clarity over control, and a willingness to honor effort, even when the towel comes out shaped like nothing you’ve ever seen before.
🎙️ Listen to the full conversation for practical insights on finding your flex, honoring the try, and why embracing variety beats enforcing uniformity—at home, at work, and everywhere leadership shows up.
