We have formally, officially reached the stage of “Why?” here at the Lo.Co. It has the potential to drive me a little *loco,* I admit, but so far, there are far worse habits we encounter throughout the work day. In fact, I daresay that responding can sometimes be fun, and challenging in a good way. Managers must note that they possess the power to steer these “why?” conversations down any given path. It’s a little bit like Choose Your Adventure: Preschool Edition. Since the conversation isn’t likely to end anytime soon, I suggest taking your time with responses, lest you get into tricky territory, when you could have just as easily remained in Mundane-ville. Mundane-ville is a nice, easy place to stay. Or sometimes, for entertainment purposes, it’s more fun to lead the child down a wilder path… really, it’s all up to you. Every once in a while, I like to finish with a good zinger, such as, “Because K.Lo’s a monkey!” followed by appropriate monkey noises and some tickling. This approach typically satisfies the employee for a good 60 seconds, at least.
