Trust in teams

Lots of us work. Together. We increase our impact, cover for one another, and bring many perspectives to a problem. Work can be fulfilling. And it's easy to get carried away. Cut corners. Forget to follow through for others. Communicate poorly. It's interesting, because it does work. All that brainpower on a problem alone. The results usually reflect. But responsibilities extend beyond immediate tasks. And the results come at a cost. A team cost. Someone else chases. Someone else worries. Then resentment and arguing replace work. And the gap widens.
