Many interesting thoughts here. Especially the concept of building a team.
I’ve realized something about teams recently. There are different kinds of teams, obviously, but an important part of masculine team building lies in a certain kind of ignorance or impersonality. These teams function because everyone is able to perform a particular role rather than bringing their “whole self”. Thus, they don’t really have to know each other, they just know the roles. It’s an important skill to be able to step into a role on such a team and change your shape to fit the role without requiring anyone to know you as a person. Communities need such teams just as much as they need “thick” relationships.
This is a strong example of a gratitude exercise we should all be doing more of... Thank you for sharing, and I'm honored to be a part of your growing team. #goteam
