Interesting story about the one person with the bad attitude, but the plural of anecdote is not data. Replace “play a board game” with “go to a bar” or “watch football” or “play basketball” or “go to a wine tasting” or “put on boxing gloves and spar” or about a thousand other things that we think would range from useless to inappropriate and I think you can see the problem with this. You learn something from asking a person to do anything, but not necessarily something useful in terms of their qualifications as an employee. But no doubt this is a good way to build an organization of people who like board games.
