LeaderSHIP
Michael and the team head out for Dunder Mifflin's first-quarter leadership retreat, a harbor cruise of Lake Wallenpaupack.
Leader… ship. The word “ship” is hidden inside the word “leadership,” as its derivation. So if this office is, in fact, a ship, as its leader, I am the captain. But we’re all in the same boat. Teamwork!
This week Chris and James explore the high seas to discuss everything from Andre the Giant to motivational speaker Tony Robbin's and find Michael, Jim, and Dwight feeling lost and out of place.
