Here are just a few of the “solutions” our team came up with for working with their beautifully flawed cups:

• 💡 Use the Remote Team Member’s Cup – They’ll never know… unless they read this.
• 🔨 SMASH it and use a different one—aggressive, but effective.
• 🍓 Just use it for fruit—fruit doesn’t leak (usually).
• 🥤 RACE THE CRACK – Drink faster than the drip!
• ⚠️ Use the crack as a fill line—instant measuring tool!
• 🚫 No tipping. No sudden movements. Proceed with caution.
• ✨ Or… just turn it into a desk light (if your electricity is working, of course).

And the best part? This cracked cup moment was full of joy and life lessons.

Here’s what we were reminded of:

• Not everything (or everyone) needs to be perfect to be valuable.
• Fun is often found in the flaws—especially when shared with great people.
• Our job as leaders is not to eliminate every crack, but to help our teams see the possibilities in spite of them.
• Legacy is built in laughter, creativity, and moments that fill our cups—even if they’re a little leaky.
•  

Mine, by the way, does not have a crack—so I’m officially FILLING MY CUP with every smile, solution, and shared story.

Now it’s your turn: How are you Leaving a Legacy of Fun today?
