We grow up looking for friends to talk with share ideas with and make school tolerable . . . at least I did. We played sports together, walked to school and home together and sat in front of our buildings to talk with one another about life, the universe and everything.
In school, we couldn’t share . . . that was cheating.
At work, particularly once tech showed up on my desk, we worked by ourselves and occasionally collaborated. Most of the time, I worked on my own.
Yet we are more effective when we work together with others who have a common mission and intention.
Are you a lone wolf or a person who leads a team or is part of a team? What do you expand your network, even as a lone wolf so that your impact is bigger than it would be as an individual?
