The realization hit me hard. In short, I thought my job was to be right. I thought that was how I proved my worth to the company. But that was all wrong. My job was to get things done and doing anything meaningful past a certain point requires more than one person. If you are right but nobody wants to work with you, then how valuable are you really? How much can you realistically expect to accomplish on your own? I was “winning” my way out of a job one argument at a time.
-I think most of us have met people like this. It's a shame that often in life advanced technical capability doesn't correlate to social capability. Thank goodness mk and forwardslash are such social butterflies.
