I have noticed something interesting: during my military career, American small-unit leaders in the Army had very good success with keeping people from one another's throats by playing silly word games and mandatory fun such as that.
In China, they do exactly the same things. It's de rigueur to do that very same stuff in a small Chinese company: get everyone in a circle and get them to laugh and play some stupid games. What amazes me is that the crooked timber of humanity has hit upon this extremely effective method of cohesion for the intensely self-interested and the apathetic. It really works. From a leadership perspective, I think this is important. A little laughter goes a long way towards defusing potential conflicts.
What little parlor games and silliness have people seen as particularly effective?
