And what did he mean by ‘over and over again’?Edge just laughed even more when he saw her expression.‘Team building,’ he said.‘What?’‘We were taking part in a team building exercise at the weekend. They took us to a place up in the north of the county. It’s an enormous site, with all kinds of activities, and we stayed there the whole two days. Motivational talks, orienteering, lots of role playing. Even blind driving. You know the sort of thing.’Fry did. Except for … ‘Blind driving?’‘You don’t know how that works? Well, they put two of you in a car, and the driver is blindfolded.’‘What’s the point of that?’‘The idea is that if you’re the one driving you’ve got to have complete trust in your navigator. If you’re acting as navigator, you have to be able to communicate clearly. It’s a metaphor for a good relationship in the workplace. Or something like that.’Fry recognised the slightly jaded tone of someone who’d taken part in too many team building exercises, been sent on too many personal development courses.
