Summary

We all know what it’s like to work in teams and how, at times, that experience can be invigorating, motivational and fulfilling. At other times, however, the experience may leave a lot to be desired. In her recent Radio 4 series, Split Ends, singer-songwriter and BBC Introducing presenter Kitty Perrin explores the wonderful world of team dynamics but through a slightly different lens. Over three episodes, she charts what happened in the break-ups of some of history’s best-loved bands and analyses the reasons behind why they split. In this episode of the Ideas Foundry podcast, Kitty shares her reflections on why bands break up and how it’s affected the way she leads her own band. We also discuss how such cautionary tales may help organisational teams recognise the danger signs and, with care, avoid them.
