People like to be the lone survivor. It’s hard to trust someone, especially when you know what you are doing. But like a well-oiled machine, sometimes we need to be a cog—a cog that works seamlessly with other cogs to make the machine tick and accomplish the larger goal.
Behind every successful product is a great team. A team in which everyone shows up and backs each other. A team that builds the culture, which in turn builds the product.
It’s very important to choose the right team to work with, but once you are in a team, it’s just as important to be the best at what you do and let others do what they are best at.
With this symphony of understanding, we can build products of high quality.
A great team is where everyone brings something unique to the table and is willing to help each other out. Most of the time, we try to do everything by ourselves, and most of the time, we fail miserably. That’s why we need a team—to rely on others to do what they are best at, freeing us to do what we are best at.
