Imagine two teams facing a critical deadline. Team A has five geniuses who work in silence, hoarding knowledge to protect their value. When a build breaks, they point fingers to absolve themselves.
Team B communicates. When one person stumbles, another adjusts their stride to keep the rhythm. They don't just fix the bug; they fix the process so it never happens again. Team B wins every time.
Complaining is often just the echo of a missing conversation. It signals a gap in understanding, not a flaw in character. Real growth happens when we replace judgment with curiosity—when we stop asking "Why did they mess up?" and start asking "What obstacle are they facing?"
We have incredible talent here. But talent is just potential. Collaboration is kinetic. Be the leader who makes it safe for everyone else to be great.
