Lowest Stress
- I work with paper and complete a task on my own. I gather my own inputs. I alone am responsible for my entire output. My output is your input. I never see my output again.
- I gather my own inputs. I am part of a team responsible for my output. My output is your input. I never see my output again.
- I gather my first input. I am part of a team responsible for my output. My output is your input. You are an individual. Your output is my next input.
- I gather my first input. I am part of a team responsible for my output. My output is your input. You are part of a team. Your output is my next input.
- I gather my first input. I am part of a team responsible for my output. My output is your input. You are part of a team. Your output is my next input. This process repeats before the project is complete.
- I have this relationship with more than one team: I gather my first input. I am part of a team responsible for my output. My output is your input. You are part of a team. Your output is my next input. This process repeats before the project is complete.
Highest Stress
Where is your job on this continuum? How do you manage the interactions to get the highest benefit with the lowest effects of stress?
Interaction is only one factor that contributes.
