Yes! Those tiny yellow ones we love!!

Have you ever sat back and thought about what they teach us? Especially about team work?

Team work is one of the most essential skills when working in an organisation. Moreover, team work skill is also necessary for our daily lives. It can be defined as a sense of unity, enthusiasm for common interests and responsibilities; developed among a group of people.

Here are some of the most important team working lessons learnt from our little minions:

1. A well-functioning team can make work joyfull 
   Simply by looking at the minions’ ‘Banana Potato’ song, it is visible how necessary it is to have everyone being a supporter and not an interrupter. The party horn blower has been a disturbance throughout the song, which annoys the soloist. When looking at this incident at an organisational perspective, when an employee is not supportive enough during a mission or project, but instead create unnecessary disturbance, it may lead to a delay in achieving the goal. Moreover, it would annoy the other employees and bore them.
   
   
   
2. Share the ideas
   

   The way the minions enthusiastically share their ideas convinces the other minions to follow. From an organisations perspective, in order to make an idea work, the person proposing the idea must be able to enthusiastically share the idea which would make the other members to consider and believe in it. Collective ideas leads to success in a project
   
   

3. Take initiative.
   For the minions to search for a new master, a minion stood up (Kevin) and took the initiative to travel miles and miles in search of a new master. From an organisations perspective, it is necessary for members in a team to take the initiative/ risk if a member believes the task would be a success. Especially during thick and thin situations, where members are awaiting for betterment, at least an employee in the team must be able to stand up for the rest of the members.
   
4. Honest dedication
   When the minions had to serve their evil mistress, Scarlet Overkiller, they were honestly serving her even though they were making severe mistakes. From an organisations perspective, we must be honestly dedicated to our work. If we are to complain about work all the time and do it for the sake of doing, we can never see success or hear good compliments in the work we do. It is necessary to love what we do, which would naturally make us honestly dedicated.
   
5. Accept each other for who they are.
   Generally, some minions do something insane and ruin the mission unintentionally. Yet, the minions do not give up on each other, even though they have their mini arguments all the time. They support and love each other for who they are, which makes them feel like a single family. Looking at it from an organisations perspective, we must learn to accept each other’s mistakes and teach each other what they do not know. That is the only way teams can succeed.
   
   With equal synergy and collective ideas, it is a quick way to success in any project or mission. So make sure you watch the minions and learn from them. If this blog has missed any important team working lessons from the Minions, make sure you comment below.
