    In this episode of WonderTour, Brian Nutwell and Drew Paroz break down the first Halloween Heist episode of Brooklyn Nine-Nine (Season 1, Episode 6) and uncover how Captain Holt’s unexpected indulgence in the shenanigans offers a masterclass in game theory, mentorship, and team development. 🎯 Key Takeaways:🔹 Leadership isn’t always about winning—sometimes, it’s about setting the stage for others to grow.🔹 The “dojo” concept is introduced: a safe, playful, and challenging environment where failure is part of the learning journey.🔹 Game theory isn't just strategy—it can be a joyful framework for collaborative growth and innovation.🔹 Constraints breed creativity: Holt sets boundaries, not solutions, letting his team find their own path to success.🔹 Great leaders curate problems, not prescribe answers. 💬 Memorable Quotes:🔹 “Sometimes you play the game even when you’re not holding the best cards.”🔹 “The dojo is a place to learn how to do a thing… but it’s also super fun.”🔹 “A leader’s job is to constrain the problem, not the solution.” 🕹️ Pop Culture Meets Leadership:This episode connects the high jinks of a Halloween heist to practical leadership concepts like bluffing, trust, and motivating a team through play. Inspired by The Matrix, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and real-life management moments, Brian and Drew reveal how to make work both effective and fun.
