The Team Building Event

The talent in action

Imagine you are organizing a team-building event and making everyone laugh with your humor. During a game, you make a funny remark that breaks the ice and lifts the mood. Everyone immediately feels relaxed and ready to work together on the challenges.

The blind spot

In a meeting, however, you tell a joke while an important decision is being made. Some team members look at you confused, and the fun doesn't land well. You realize that your humorous approach wasn't the right choice in that moment.
