After watching the video, please review the following questions:
-
What comes to mind when you think of kindness and generosity? Do these words inspire positive thoughts, make you feel skeptical, or prompt you to consider acts like donating time or money? Do you associate them more with interactions with strangers or familiar people, and why?
-
The video highlights a need many of us have of being recognized as a hero, which can cloud our view of what people actually need in a situation. How can a desire for recognition overshadow what is truly best for your team and Jack Cooper? What are steps your team can take to highlight and celebrate accomplishments while maintaining a focus on best practices and procedures?
-
Do you have a "Save the Shoes" story that you experienced or witnessed you would like to share? How did this moment encourage you to continue spreading kindness?
