💬 Real Example
Last month, we launched a “Spin for Recognition” wheel. Each Friday, one teammate spun for a fun reward. Suddenly, people looked forward to the Friday meeting — cameras ON, mics UNMUTED. One lucky dev won a “Choose Monday’s playlist” prize and turned our morning into a silent disco 🎧😂
