Bridging the gap from solo work to teamwork

“We identify with our specialization. This is our craft. It is what we were hired to do.”

I've seen this sentiment lead to solo work, silos, and hand-offs. When a special skill becomes the focus, we risk chasing the skill, not the team's goals or our customers' needs. And value flow suffers.

So, I favor teamwork over specialized, solo task-work.
