你的团队就像一个乐团，每个成员都带来了他们的才能和独特的贡献，以帮助创造出和谐、情感共鸣的音乐体验，打动观众。当每一位音乐家都理解音乐作品的集体诠释，以及他们所扮演的角色是如何为创造统一的表演做出贡献时，就会产生震撼人心的表演。
如果某些成员的价值观或动机与乐团不一致（例如，想成为最耀眼的明星、觉得自己的部分不重要、或者只是想撑过一天领到酬劳），集体表演将受到严重影响。
团员 / 员工敬业度的一个关键驱动因素是团队成员感到 “我的工作有意义！” 研究发现1，对我们来说，“有意义” 比工作的其他方面更重要。当员工感到他们的工作有意义时，他们的绩效会提高 33%！2
Your team is like an orchestra where each member brings their talents and unique contributions to help create a harmonious, emotionally resonant musical experience that moves the audience. A powerful performance happens when every musician understands the collective interpretation of the musical piece and how their parts contribute to creating that unified performance.
If some members have values or motivations that do not align with the orchestra’s (e.g., wanting to be the stand-out lone star, feeling that their part is unimportant, or just wanting to get through the day and receive the paycheck), the collective performance will be significantly affected.

你的团队就像一个乐团。每位成员都是才华横溢的音乐家，演奏着具有独特能力的乐器。为了让乐团演奏出触动人心的优美乐曲，每位演奏者都必须全身心投入、协调一致并致力于集体演奏。
如果乐团的成员没有充分投入，甚至是刻意脱离，那么乐团演奏出来的充其量只是技术上正确但缺乏灵魂的音乐，或更糟糕的是不和谐和令人不悦的音乐！
If you live in my country or my region of the world, you might be familiar with bands that play at Chinese funerals. Those bands play familiar tunes but in a cringe-worthy way. Even kids know that members of these bands are there to go through the motions, not to give great performances.
Your team is like an orchestra. Each member is a talented musician playing an instrument with unique capabilities. For the orchestra to perform a beautiful symphony that moves the listeners, every musician must be fully engaged, harmonised, and committed to the collective performance.
An orchestra with musicians who are not fully engaged or, worse, disengaged will produce music that is, at best, technically correct but lacking soul and, at worst, discordant and unpleasant!

你的团队就像一个乐团。每个成员都是才华横溢的个体，他们为团队带来了独特的才能和贡献。
想象一下，如果乐团的成员对如何一起演奏有不同的理解，一首美丽的乐曲很快就会变成嘈杂的声音！这就是一个团队允许自己在隐性契约影响下运作的危险性。
