But if you think of some of the really

Business people who, they would have walking meetings.

You know, if you think back to the peripatetics walking around the Lyceum, but also, you know, look at Steve Jobs.

People he wanted to influence, he would take on walks with him.

I also read Lorne Michaels' biography, and he takes people that he's working with on long walks around New York City.

So, you know, you could arrange walks.

But also, if you just arrange to have a meal together, because, you know, that in its way is a synchronized behavior.

You're all sitting down together.

You're having a meal together.

So it doesn't have to be military marching around or doing dance steps, though the research has shown that really helps.

There was a publishing company in Germany that had their employees do dance.

a nine-week exercise program.

And it showed that absenteeism went down, feelings of morale went up.

And it wasn't just the exercise because they also had a control group that did the exercise, but separately.

So there was something about doing it in a synchronized way that built this rapport and built cohesion.

Golf.

I mean, you know, that's probably why golf is such a thing.

You know, you're walking together and you're spending all that time together, but it's in a synchronized activity.

Thank you, Dan.
