Leaders can learn a lot from what happened between them, and you see it happening from the very beginning of the film. Anyone who is a fan of the Beatles has likely heard the story that George Harrison quit the band in the middle of recording the album, and it’s true, he did… but what’s most interesting about how the documentary tells this story is the build-up, the departure, and the return. While there’s much to discuss about this documentary series-from the relationship between John Lennon and Yoko Ono to the band’s creative process-what really struck me was the relationship between George Harrison and the rest of the band, particularly John Lennon and Paul McCartney as lead songwriters. But I have to tell you, I was enthralled by this documentary and what it tells us about teams and teamwork, including why people stay and why people quit organizations.

While I do love Classic Rock and the music of that era, I’m not a huge Beatles fan. Over Thanksgiving, I had the pleasure of watching Get Back!, the recently released three-part Beatles documentary on the making of the Beatles’ final album, 1970’s Let It Be.
