'Say Yo Ho Ho'

'Jake and the Never Land Pirates' an animated series on one of the cartoon channels, is a must watch for my son. Many times Jake will ask his animated and animate friends to repeat after him something like - 'Say Yo Ho Ho'. And pat my son would also repeat after Jake and his animated friends, - 'Yo Ho Ho'. 

It just works right! It works like magic! The engagement is so much better.

However when the same trick is tried in business organizations with grown-up adults and it works, it works in a way that is antonymous to right, magic and engagement.

It is amazing that when your 'people' always say what you want to hear, you never hear the right things!

'Sounding Board' is any day better than an 'Echo'!

whatever you discussed above doesn't sound right to me but i'm not saying you are wrong,my point is now a days in which business organizations do you think this trick works.Gen-y is more complicated and more unstable in their decisions,moreover they are equipped with technology which seniors don't possess just as difference between child and his grandparents now a days.so i don't think it works.
