“If you were ever part of a good team, you immediately know and feel what that means. The energy flows. Talents are being expressed. Clients feel heard and helped and colleagues are involved. Circumstances may not always be positive and day-to-day reality can sometimes intervene strongly, but good teams develop resilience and are able to work with the tensions that arise. If you can work like this, there are positive effects, for individuals and on the impact of the work itself.”
