One of the most complex skills to nurture is working with other people. The complexity comes with a clash of ideas, focus and principles of two people when they interact. Each one bring their egos, experiences, convictions into play and if these are slightly different, then there is a tendency to not be open to the other’s viewpoint. It could also be that both want the other to agree to their view as they soon forget the real issue and convert the conversation into a soft competition to prove themselves. One needs to de link a little from one’s own fixed views to have a healthy discussion than go for an argument.

Laws are a framework to work within if it is beneficial to all and it is ok to break it when necessary to usher a positive change.

People work with people. Tasks are either share with people or given to them. when a task is owned by a person, a commitment to complete the task is undertaken. Everyone else now trust and rely on this person to complete this task in a high quality, low-cost and effective manner. This commitment is the driver of this task owner to take it up. If that person is able to do it, it may be normally acknowledged and appreciated by others or just taken for granted. If the person needs help, its his duty to ask for it. If the person concludes that he cant do it, it becomes his duty to quickly give it back so that the task is reallocated. What is not acceptable is when the task is not done or completed shoddily but a lot of time and thought has gone to come up with a set of reasons to justify the failure of completion. If every member in a team is task oriented and driven, then the team will always succeed.
