Case Study 1: The Great "Should We Get a Coffee?" Debate
We gathered our team in a conference room to discuss whether or not to grab a coffee. The debate raged on for hours, with arguments ranging from "it's not worth the calories" to "it's not worth the calories if you're not even getting any actual coffee.".
We eventually settled on the following conclusions:
- Team member 1: "I say we get a coffee, it'll give us the energy to make more arguments."
- Team member 2: "But what's the point of getting a coffee if you're not even going to drink it? It's a waste of money."
- Team member 3: "Waste of money? You're one of those hippies, aren't you? Coffee is the lifeblood of innovation."
- CEO: "I don't care what you do, as long as you're not using company resources. Unless... we can write off the coffee as a "Team Building" expense. That's a different story."
