Lessons from The Office

When you attend an annual office awards show that is not sanctioned by Corporate, you never know what to expect. When that awards show is with the cast of The Office, you can expect it to be hilarious! On the Season 2 premiere of The Office, the cast goes all-in on their inappropriate jokes and conversations, fueled by alcohol stolen from the tables of their co-workers, and led by their fearless leader, Michael Scott.

As we kick off the sophomore season of "Lessons from The Office," Randy and Bruce talk about their own experience with corporate parties, dissect about career development lessons, and explore how The Dundies may actually have some redeeming value beyond just comedy.

Show Notes:

When an attractive vendor (played by Amy Adams before she was famous!) stops by to see if she  can  sell purses, all the men in the office decide to try to put the moves on her.  And Randy and Bruce recount their own failed dating experiences from days of yore.

Michael challenges the warehouse workers to a basketball game, making inappropriate assumptions about athletic abilities and Randy and Bruce dissect the play-by-play!

"The Alliance" sees the teaming up of Jim and Dwight, but not all is as it seems.  Today, Randy and Bruce talk about professionalism and productivity and the importance of having fun at work.

The first episode of NBC's The Office introduced us to the characters we would know and love, and the antics of Michael Scott that would make us cringe!  Learn about how Michael's fake firing of Pam could have been handled better if Michael had developed the NACE competency of Leadership.
