What did you learn from the junior bankers working under you?

Monkeys, there is a lot of content out there that gives the do's and don'ts to analysts and interns. I was just wondering if you had the opportunity to learn something from the junior folks on your team. It might be a MD-VP, VP-Associate, Associate- Analyst thing but did you ever come off richer (value wise) having interacted with them or did any of their work habits have a positive impact on you?

DO offer sexual favors and/or illicit narcotics in exchange for better work assignments (and if you're good at it, promotions) DON'T hesitate at the opportunity to blackmail your competition

Those who can, do. Those who can't, post threads about how to do it on WSO.
