Team work
Team work, or collaboration, is more than a means to a goal; often it is the goal and the base from which infrastructure of success extends. At the core of team work is respect for the skills of the individual members and a keen understanding what they can offer each other, how the pieces can fit together to form a whole.
On numerous occasions, I have been fortunate enough to be included as part of a team environment, sharing in the collaborative processes of group creation, organization, and implementation.
