Help Me Help You!

Recently, we've had a lot of internal struggles. Its great that you want to keep a project linear and cohesive. It should be. That's what kickoff meetings are for — to get everyone up-to-date and up-to-speed with everything. Its also a chance for teamworking towards common goals. Specific people are hired for specific purposes, and we should utilize their expertise. Just because you think you can do better, it doesn't mean that you should disregard their expertise and step over them. That shows impatience, disrespect, being sneaky, and having a personal ego powertrip. And then there is the issue of deflecting the blame onto others when things don't go the way you want it to. If you take charge, you have to take both the glory and the crap that comes with it. Its not healthy for everyone, and the end result can be ridiculous. Not to mention you risk making enemies within your own company. Burning bridges is not advisable, especially in such a small and tightly-knit community such as ours. You never know when you may need their help. Such an uncomfortable and frustrating journey when it should have been a much smooth one. Seriously, people. Grow up. We're all in the same boat.
