Collaboration at work: From deadly deliverable Fridays to ballistic brainstorming days

Collaboration can be a critical value in the workplace, but it can also result in hilarious situations gone wrong. In one example, a last-minute deadline collaboration resulted in an entire weekend spent redoing work. In another, a team meeting intended for brainstorming can turn into a showdown of competing ideas. In some cases, efforts to inject fun into team outings can lead to uncomfortable situations for introverted team members.
