Team work

Ever since I started studying PR, all we are taught is TEAM WORK, whether its groups of 3,4 etc, working as a group is emphasized. It is true that in real life you will seldom work on your own, there is always two or three people to whom you owe the success of whatever you have achieved because you worked as a team, whether others were behind the scenes or not.
In a marriage, I learnt that there is nothing you must do without your spouse and children. When you want to buy furniture, you must discuss with the whole family to know what style will be good for everyone. When there's going to be a traditional ceremony, you even have to work together with other family members besides your spouse and kids.
At work, its even worse to maintain good working relations because you are bound to have opposing views and that on its own can cause tension. Some people become elephants in the team, some are subservient people who can't say no even when they know something will not work.
Team work is about voicing your views and opinion whether people will take it or not, its about contributing to the achievement of the objective of whatever you are busy with. I get frustrated by people who think that when you are a member of the team you must do everything that everybody in the team tells you to do. NO PEOPLE!! when you are at the meeting show people what you are capable of, not to show them that you are a YES MAN!!
Okey, I'm getting emotional!  PEACE PEOPLE, PEACE !!
