Scenario

When teams lose their creative spark under pressure

Our work team used to have this great energy where we'd riff off each other's ideas and laugh during meetings, but after all the layoffs and pressure from management, we've become these serious people who just get through tasks. We're technically more efficient but we've lost the creative spark that made us actually good at what we do, and nobody wants to be the first one to suggest we try to have fun again.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The survival instinct has made everyone so focused on appearing productive that you've killed the very playfulness that made you effective.
