Be Interdependent.Do you pride yourself in being able to get things done?Do you face each challenge head on, on your own?Do you try not to be a “bother” to other people?If so you could be suffering from a severe case of independence!

Success is easier to achieve together and more fun to celebrate when you have a team cheering you on!Related ArticlesTags »building high performing teamsCultivating Winning Relationshipsteam building denver Share
