Interdependence
High performance is built on interdependence.
Your brain may crave a sense of independence (autonomy), but great performing teams do not operate on it.
High performing teams, and individuals, exist in a healthy state of interdependence.
Great leaders identify and actively cultivate interdependence.
Ineffective leaders fixate on control and ownership under the guise of creating autonomy and efficiency.
Your ability to think independently is built upon a foundation of interdependent partners and systems.
The more autonomy you feel, the more people you have to appreciate for creating those conditions.
