^Teamwork^

The word "teamwork" - everyone likes to quote it nowadays. It's the 'in' thing in all cultures, corporate and academic alike. Your resume should show it, you should have experienced it and it's supposed to be good for you.

How many really understand teamwork?

Is it about people relations and empathy? Or maybe it's just hard work and dedication? Many people have tried to study the dynamics and underworkings of teamwork. Gurus in this field have been sprouting out theories and concepts in the name of "TEAM".

I too have gone thru my fair share of such courses/camps. I've learnt about synergy, trust, listening skills, etc. However, it doesn't seem to be enough. Why are there times I find my patience running out?

I've learnt from a long time before, I can't work under a lousy leader. I may be anal but I seriously cannot handle incompetency. Everyone has their different working styles but some...just takes more getting used to I guess.

It's not too difficult to place yourself in another's shoe to understand and empathise. It's not too difficult to think of others when you pass certain comments or delegate work. It's not too difficult to be civil, courteous and yet efficient.

Sometimes, it is difficult to be a good leader. Especially when you have a #%^*$@! up team.

Life ain't gonna be a bed of roses. You like to party? Sure! But not when there's work to be done. You've got your own work? Well, so do others. It is not too difficult to take on a fair share of work. Do not always leave it to others to take the initiative or shoulder the responsibility. Stop looking down when work is being delegated. No one is always going to be there to work for you and clean up your mess. Grow up and be an adult. A responsible adult.

~Do unto others what you will others do unto you.~
