Most people are far more effective working with people they enjoy, trust and with whom they have a real interdevelopmental relationship. Interdevelopmental means that both parties are growing together, instead of being interdependent, which means that both parties rely and lean on each other. While I’m pretty effective and self-motivated (thanks to my vision), I find that being with like-minded people (my colleagues, friends, and others) pulls me forward naturally, and I like that! I used to try hard and I did it all myself. While this worked pretty well, it was a bit lonely, and I didn’t grow as well or as quickly, personally or professionally. Let a team pull you forward instead of trying to “make it happen” alone.
