Agile Cheer - Bring It On!
summary
Three practical rituals map cheerleading to team work: use contrast, synchrony, direction (short dance drills with music and pom‑poms) to raise energy, run call‑and‑response chants to rally stakeholders, and invent a failure bow or signature move to normalize learning. Examples: nine years of pro cheerleading, stadiums of hundreds of thousands, a conference workshop of ~100–120 people, breakout teams given seven minutes to build cheers, virtual rooms with 100 cameras dancing — all reporting higher celebration, support, and stakeholder hype.
