It provides the foundation upon which we build our identity and character. The second stage of learning takes place in school, where teachers shape our education, relationships with others, and personal development. The knowledge imparted during this period significantly influences our growth. The third stage occurs in the workplace, where we adapt to an organisation’s rules and regulations. These guidelines define the standards we must meet and how we should conduct ourselves professionally. Self-assessment by a superior determines how well we integrate into the organisation’s expectations. Additionally, our interactions with colleagues-individuals raised in different environments-play a crucial role. A workplace unites people from diverse backgrounds, and one’s ability to work collaboratively is as vital as individual performance. This is what is known as teamwork.
