The CEO of a hip menswear company is known for his relatively unconventional approaches to running an organization. One of his popular practices is "comedy and coffee" every single Monday. After employees settle into the office between 8:30 a.m. and 9:15 a.m. or so, he summons them over a loudspeaker to the theatre at 9:30 a.m. He shows a movie scene that somehow connects with the week's goals.
