Business Task: Carrying a dead beetle (100x their size) through miniscule mosquito netting:
1. Clarity of message: They all knew the task at hand, without discussion or dissension.
2. Seamless leadership: If there was a leader calling the shots, he was fully integrated in the process and authoratative, he was invisible, letting them complete their task.
3. Unflagging determination: The entire ant column worked continuously until the job was done-three days later.
4. Thinking outside the box: Once they realized the beetle would not fit through the netting no matter how hard they pushed, they took to dismantling him leg by wing, by section.
5. Teamwork: No squabbling, no slackers, just every ant giving 100%.
