Disciples rejoice! Someone has finally got round to Guru's way of thinking.
Business psychologist David Taylor is pushing the idea of 'Naked Fridays' as a way of boosting team spirit. This is something Guru first mooted at the beginning of the year, although Yours Truly preferred Wednesday as the day to bare all. Let's not quibble over the day, all that matters is that workers are getting their kit off.
Staff at a design and marketing agency in Newcastle spent a day working together naked after being told it would improve their morale. Taylor is quoted in the Daily Telegraph: "Inviting an organisation to go naked is the most extreme technique I've used. It may seem weird but it works. It's the ultimate expression of trust in yourself and each other."
Some spoil sports at the firm didn't go totally starkers, keeping on underwear or donning a posing pouch. If it was down to Guru, these non-compliers would be the first out the door when it was sacking time.
The de-robing was filmed for a one-off TV show called Naked Office, to be shown on 9 July. Guru will definitely be tuning in.
