Lessons from The Masters: Rules

What do you think about "rules" at your event?

I'm learning to love them.

I'm a member of a fraternity with a strict dark-suit-and-tie dress code, even in 100 degree Florida weather.

I've attended events that bar all electronics - phones, watches, computers, cameras, etc.

I've attended events that have strict rules against discussing any business under almost any circumstance.

People think they're strict and overbearing.

But an older member told me "the strict rules preserve harmony."

"Harmony."

When was the last time an events person focused on THAT?

If only...

Because when we all agree what the rules are, and we all know that we have to leave if we break the rules...

We can all relax and focus on our other common goals - like having fun together, working together, and being among our fellow humans.

If you haven't experienced it, it's really magic.

This might be worth a conversation...
