I recently discovered a reality show (other than the Amazing Race) that I really like. What is it? Undercover Boss.
Frankly, it is brilliant marketing for these companies, but it is also fun to watch the top dog struggle doing the jobs that pay their salary. I enjoy hearing the stories of those who work in these companies - often stories of struggle and overcoming difficulty.
Once upon a time I worked in an office where we would be required to do a rotation at the front desk, regardless of role or responsibility. I had a director title, but I did my time like everyone else. I was horrible at it. I couldn't multi-task with ease. I didn't know the answer to many basic questions. I grew to appreciate the value that the front desk person added to our organization. The woman who did the job each day was brilliant at it. It is my belief that every leader should be reminded of the effort others put in to the organization...and that those low paid, entry-level jobs aren't easy - they take skill too.
What TV show are you watching and enjoying these days?
