        Im skeptical that positive interaction between teams can exist, other
        than as positive interaction between their leads. It seems to me that
        risk/reward for an individual to blame things on a different team it
        too appealing to pass on.
        
        Or maybe this is how my company has trained me to think. Everything
        always seems to be a different team's fault

        I avoid the word "sanction" whenever I can because it's an auto-antonym
        and just too confusing.

        Thinking back to a failed role, many years ago - the articles first
        'sanctions' list reads like a checklist of achievements for the
        situation that I blindly dug myself into while under the high stress of
        the time.
        
        It took until quite a few years later to have a clearer perspective on
        it. Accordingly, with hindsight I wish I'd had the articles wisdom a
        couple of decades ago, as a preventative - though I partly wonder if
        I'd have had the brain structure to really take it in, back then.

          And from the bullet points and the lack of a personal perspective.
          
          I'm glad the poster at least admitted the AI contribution, though.
          
          I use AI a lot myself for brainstorming and perspective and even
          advice. But I include in my prompt details about my particular
          situation and needs. The responses are worth much more to me than
          generic listicle slop.

        Beautiful! People's zero points can be at very different places on
        these scales, and it takes a lot of effort to shift them.
