Business Problems Solved Podcast Rockstar Drummer Tom Morley
Tom Morley was the original drummer and a founder member of Scritti Politti, the 80s band who were pioneers of DIY music before appearing successfully on the dance scene. Unlike other bands Scritti Politti used to make half their songs up on stage, so from an early age Tom got used to taking risks in public.
Through a scientific method, Tom has developed an entirely unique form of team building known as INSTANT team work, which he has been pioneering with great success in order to bring teams closer together.
In this week’s show, Lee talks to Tom about the science behind the method, and how teams are at the heart of any endeavour.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- No matter which walk of life we belong to, we all spend time in the womb, subjected not to all five senses, but something more primal. This primal connection continues through life, and manifests itself in connections with others.
- Science has recently proved that drummers experience the world differently. Their acute sense of rhythm means they see patterns everywhere, including patterns of behaviour. Being able to read ‘the energy’ of a room fast Tom creates INSTANT teams, delivering INSTANT team work.
- Society is designed around happiness through consumerism. By reconnecting to one’s spirit, we gain this rush of happiness through natural, primal means.
- The simple act of synchronising our movements with another’s leads to an instant sense of participation and team spirit. In this sense, rhythm may be the missing component in any business’s team-building endeavours.
