I sat down with her and had a long calm talk. It turned out to be a simple oversight on her part. She apologized profusely and promised me to not ever repeat this performance. She told me that I am one of the most valuable employees in the department and that she would do anything to accomodate me. After initial introductions, everybody was bursting with ideas for our project.
Communication is vital to the success of any team effort.
Everyone on the team must be able to work efficiently at the tasks assigned. Everyone on the team must try to get along. In the case of conflict, differences must be worked out in a calm, suitable manner. There must be a sharing of information and resources within the group. Speak openly as an individual.
