Yanny or Laurel and the Code

There has been a big Internet controversy over when an audio tape is played whether you hear “Yanny” or “Laurel.”  Siri tells me that she hears Yanny, but that only half of us will believe her!    How is this like the Code?  We think this is a fun illustration of something important: even when we are all in the same room at the same time, we may not “hear” the same thing.  Miscommunication occurs often!  As a preacher once said, usually people hear what they want to hear, sometimes they hear what they don’t want to hear, and sometimes they hear what I said!  The Code says, “I will be a positive influence on the relationships on the team.”  An important role can be to be sure that everyone hears the same thing, so that everyone can be on the same page.  When was the last time you can remember that a miscommunication or misunderstanding led to a problem?
