We've been discussing two pendulums at work. One is individual vs team and the other is bold vs timid. If you place those two in a 2x2 matrix, you get an interesting set of four approaches. Jumping to the chase, it's all about bouncing in and out if those 4 areas to the best of your ability. Sometimes be a bold team player, and other times you can be a timid individual.
What we're thinking is that these are often subconscious choices, you might not realise the choice you're making. There's a popular concept these days called "mindfulness". The thinking is that we can all be more aware (or mindful) of our own thoughts and feelings, you know, the "voice in your head ". It's hard enough to bring those voices to your conscious, it's even harder to try and realise "what's true" compared to what the voices are saying. I guess it all boils down to maintaining a positive attitude and regulating your "self talk" to be as helpful and positive as possible.
