Great piece Andrea, and yes this is a real problem in every organization I ever worked over the last 35 years or so. The Robbers Cave Experiment, for me is the quintessential read on how to fix this through shared awareness AND dependency. It’s not easy to set up, but when the work requires both sides to succeed, behavior is now incentivized to change.
This is one of the most insightful pieces I've read in a while! The "Never, ever play with a smoo" rule plays out in some form in all sorts of settings – even in relationships between two individuals. It was amazing to read this and scan through my relationships through this lens.

Thanks for the tip, and for reading! I’ll take a look at that, it sounds super interesting 🙏🏼

Thank you so much, I’m happy to hear it resonated! It’s amazing how a children’s book can hide such good leadership lessons
Wow. I especially love the point about how banal the origins of the fracture can be, and how we end up internalizing it as stories and identity.
This piece is NOT RISING enough, but you knew what you were getting into. 😆 (Personally, I liked this title more LOL)
Thank you! And I agree, the title really did speak to me 😂
