That requires a lot of internal development of each individual and daring to become our greatness regardless of how the context we are in endeavours to pull us back into the 'I' paradigm. Personal development is therefor the key to change, first change within to cause a change externally.

I sometimes wonder why I find team play such a laborious task. In my job, it is very results based and is the hierarchal model of team play to a tee. Extremely competitive, and results are purposely given to us alongside each others to make us feel left out if we are not up to scratch. Workers wonder why they are rewarded with gifts such as "the pink pen award." What are we going to do with a pink pen. It is these comments that circulate amongst the masses that tells me this is a "no agreement" partnership. Interestingly enough though, to blame the company for its blatant wielding of the dictatorial axe offers no solution either. Because as much they play from the "I" paradigm so do the workers. The workers are there to earn a living and go home at the end of the day. There is no authentic collective drive to be there that serves one another and is done purely out of love. Having done leverage and being aware of it, its interesting to observe. I am also aware that I play couples and come from the "I" paradigm in many areas of my life. I am so grateful for L&Y bringing this to my attention and out of the didn't know that I didn't know realm. Ah yes, team playing. I sometimes wonder why I find team play such a laborious task.
