The collaborative projects they made us do in school never turned out particularly well. Way back in high school, I tried writing a book with my best friend - in no time at all, I'd taken the project over and she went off to do something else. It's mine all mine... bwa ha ha.<br /><br />As for the no I in team? A commercial from a few years back said it perfectly... "No I in team? Well, there ain't no 'WE' in it either."<br /><br />Having said all that, though, I do believe a group of individuals can work together to achieve a common goal. I'm just not sure I'd be good at being one of those people when it came to writing.B.E.

For me it is all about being in control. I have control issues. At work I am one of 4 Medical Staff Coordinators. We all do the same thing but with different specialties, so we are a team with our own tasks. It is hard for me to depend on someone else to get a job done. I am trying to give up little bits of control here and there. I know some loss of control will help me (like teaching my kids to do things to help out even if it is not done exactly my way). Sometimes it is good to give up control. I think Taylor taught me that.
