The world around us has broken down barriers . Technology allows us access to information unimaginable just a few years ago. We are literally inundated with notifications and alerts ; immersed from head to toe in the digital morass of social media. We rush to respond to the friend who tagged us, to participate in various online communities whose members we often don't know. We're so gratified by the positive comments on one of our posts that we believe it's the brainchild of the best critic and expert on the topic, a topic we often know about simply by asking Google.
In this truly apocalyptic scenario, we distance ourselves from work: we want to create a clear divide between work commitments and personal time, building a wall of privacy. Yet, in work—especially when it's shared—things aren't so linear. Today, it's difficult to imagine achieving results alone. A truly functioning team isn't just about roles, but also about a certain mutual availability, a balance that isn't imposed from the outside but is built over time. If that team is solid, rules emerge almost naturally. Availability doesn't become invasion, and respect for space doesn't translate into distance. It's a form of restraint that isn't declared, but acknowledged.
