We live in an era when companies are looking for professionals who, in addition to performing their duties, have the ability to work as a team.

The phrase of the three-time world champion of formula 1, Airton Senna, remains current. After winning first place, to his questioned about what he has different from the other competitors, he said:

"I am part of a team. So when I win, it's not just me who wins. In a way I finish the work of a huge group of people!"

Collaborating with others is fundamental in the process of personal evolution. Understanding that “we are in the same boat” and to move forward we need each one to paddle in their own way, leads us to a more conscious life, where we will be less indifferent to the pain of the other.

The speech may seem simplistic, but before we can be good professionals we need to be good human beings, some principles of humanity are an integral part of teamwork.

Tune in to be part of the orchestra. Understanding and respecting the differences, knowing your real role in the team, expands the possibility of you exercising your role with mastery.

No matter how talented you are, there will be situations where you will need to listen to the opinions of other members, including intervening on your ideas, recognizing the capabilities and values ​​of others is necessary in creating solutions.

Transmit your ideas clearly, people need to really understand what you want to communicate, leaving no room for interpretations that deviate from the message that is presented.

Really get to know the people next to you, listen genuinely, with an interest to know more about the person next to you.

Understand that you are not the center of the world, respect those who think differently than you, after all, we are unique human beings and our reality is built according to lived experiences.

Be patient and empathetic, put yourself in the shoes of others, try to understand their desires, fears and anxieties.

Share your knowledge wisely, always collaborate with your team.
