Every team you leave teaches you what kind of teammate to be on the next one.

CREATIVITY

WHAT THIS MEANS

Each group has a specific way of failing and a way of working, and you absorb both. The person who never passed, the one who always covered, the coach who explained and the one who shouted: all of them become reference points. Leaving lets you see the pattern from outside, which is impossible while you are in it. You carry a template forward whether or not you choose it.

Write down one thing the last group did well and one thing that made it hard. Decide which of those you are going to be responsible for next time. Do the good one visibly in your first week somewhere new.
