A lesson about working in team in the Banana song youtu.be/tGE2_4PfnDY A well functioning team can make work a joy. A poorly functioning team can make work feel like drudgery. The surprising thing for many teams is just how fine a line there is between the two. I think the most instructive part of the video is to watch Party Horn(the 3rd minion) . At no point does he look like he has anything but good intentions. His intent appears to be doing what he believes it is good (even when he goes off the track of the team), while the effect is that other co-workers gets more and more upset. Party Horn keeps on tooting along, oblivious to the situation. Soloist’s big moment has been ruined, and revenge will be his with a swift punch to the head. Believe me, this exact situation plays out thousands of times in teams, so many times in fact that we have a name for it – the “Discount-Revenge Cycle”. The only difference is that “Revenge” in most companies is not a punch to the face. Typically, “Revenge” shows up as making pointed or defensive comments in the moment, complaining to others offline, or eventually withdrawing from a working relationship if these interactions happen frequently enough.
