Alex Zamfir: “The atmosphere in the industry brought us to this situation”
“The atmosphere within the industry uring the last couple years brought us in this situation. We had two options: to stay and whine or to try to do something”, Alex Zamfir said, for Paginademedia.ro.
What happened?
Alex Zamfir:
“After a training with an American specialist, Lawrence Cohen, we started to implement what is called listening partnership. Why? We realized that people isn’t listening anymore, that we don’t know how to listen. What does the exercise consist in: each day, by rotation, we listen to each other. Each person has 5 minutes to tell something without being interrupted, than the role changes. We’re doing this exercise for a year.”
“We started y changing the website, than the name”. Why Funvertising? “Fun doesn’t mean funny, but likable. We want to become a pleasant workplace, to create a fun atmosphere within the agency. Happier people mean more creative people and more efficient ones.
Are they still going to work for Sorin Oprescu?
“If he needs our services and asks for them, of course”, Zamfir said.
