There Is No "I" In Team

The term, interdependence is relative to my current work environment. I did take me a while to realize that my actions can adversely effect another interdependent group within the organization, regardless of if I was correct in taking such action. As part of a proper communication strategy, I have since learned that if I don't completely understand a particular facet of the business, then I must communicate effectively with others and include them in my pending action. Moreover, I wish all of my co-workers had taken a class such as this, as I cannot tell you how many times I been victimized in my own version by the tragedy of the commons.

Moral of the story: if you don't know, ask. If you think you know, remember that assumptions make an "ass" out of you and me.

Peace,
