A team is like a family. Everyone on the team is a unique individual with their own goals, needs, agenda, ego, sensitivities and insecurities. Like a family, to create a positive environment for ourselves, we need to treat others with love, kindness, and courtesy. We do that so as to be treated that way in kind, yielding the greatest level of happiness for all and the greatest results from the team. We get what we put into it. Sorry, but it's true. Overused, trite? Maybe, but spot on. Give it your best, and you will get a lot of good back ‘atcha. Treat others with discourtesy, a lack of respect, and you yourself will suffer as a result. The way we behave comes back at us, and if we treat others badly we will not make ourselves happy, but create an unhappy environment in which we have continue to live or work. Trust me: been there, done that, got the bruises to show for it. So our behavior creates our environment. We are responsible for the environment in which we work because we are the creators of that environment.
