True or False? Having Fun at Work is a Serious Business

Let’s play a game. We’ll call it Two Business Truths and a Lie. 

Which one of these three statements is false?

• Thomas Alva Edison said: “I never did a day’s work in my life. It was all fun.”
• Owners and CEOs who “let loose” in the office often lose the respect of their employees.
• One element of Google’s success as a company has been office Nerf-gun battles.

Playing games and encouraging others to have a great time at work is a passion for Dr. Bob Nelson, co-author of the new book, “Work Made Fun Gets Done: Easy Ways to Boost Energy, Morale, and Results.”

Dr. Bob, who has worked with 80% of the Fortune 500 companies, knows that office play is a serious business. This week, he and host Dean Rotbart go mano a mano to see which one of them has the finer-tuned lie detector. But don’t worry, it’s all in good fun.
