The world around us broke down barriersTechnology allows us access to information that was unthinkable just a few years ago. We are literally permeated by notifications and alerts; immersed head to toe in the online soup of social media. We rush to respond to the friend who tagged us, to join 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, which, often, we know simply by asking Google.
In this apocalyptic scenario, to say the least, we distance ourselves from work: we want a clear break to be created between work commitment and personal time by erecting a wall of privacy. Yet, in work—especially when it's shared—things aren't so straightforward. 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 intrusive, and respect for space doesn't translate into distance. It is a form of measurement that is not declared, but recognized.
