Would love the “soup story” to be extended with a carrot, which was burned and goes all the way down to jelly state. This is what I’ve seen many times. After burned once it is much harder to boil you till “creative” state again. Be careful about it.
Thanks for the grate talk.

This talk has really good insights into understanding human behaviour and provides a helpful model for understanding for encouraging team growth.
NOTE: You can only see slides for first 15 min so this is a bit annoying.
