Have you ever had the privilege of being part of a team where everything just clicked? Where the kismet and synergy was so damn palpable, you could almost taste it?

It almost feels like the team had a secret language or something, like some weird collective unconscious - a shared understanding or an unspoken bond or something that made working together look and seem effortless.

These teams seem like a rare breed.

It’s a typical Tuesday morning. You’re sitting at your desk or on your comfy couch, typing away at your computer (because lawd knows you've got about 1000 emails to catch up on), and you hear someone knock on your door. You look up and see one of you best employees, let’s call her Jane, walk into your office with a sheet of paper. She sets it on your desk and drops the bombshell. Almost in slow motion, you see her mouth start to form the words and you start to shake your head no (too late) and she confidently asserts, “I’m resigning.”

Take a second and picture this with me: you’ve just welcomed your new employee, Dave, who promises to bring a fresh perspective to your team. Hooray for Dave! Everybody is super excited about him joining the team.

Fast forward one month, and Dave’s fresh perspective is mainly about how to ruin morale.
