%X Organizational behavior (OB) students often have difficulty understanding how individual-, group-, and organization-level OB concepts interact to influence employee behavior in the workplace. As a result, students may disengage from the class. Yet the simple prompt of asking students ¡°How do you get promoted?¡± serves as an effective engagement trigger that helps students link course objectives to valued outcomes. The purpose of this article is to describe a highly interactive, in-class exercise and demonstrate how it can increase in-class participation, help students visualize and appreciate what OB represents, and provide students with a conceptual roadmap for the semester. Due to the learning objectives and format of this exercise, it is intended for undergraduate OB students in a traditional, face-to-face classroom
