> As a manager, you should learn to change this about yourself rather than imposing your work style on your team.

I think we need a different approach here. I shouldn't have to change anything about myself, because we're slaves to our habits. I shouldn't force this on people who don't want to work this way. I just need to work with teams that are willing to work this way. And so far, I've always managed to find such teams and such people.

Even on the same team, needs change, sometimes from month to month. I’ve learned to adapt my management style to the needs of the individuals and the situation. Flexibility served me fairly well here.

You can do whatever you like, but I grew out of this phase of thinking I had the magic formula for collaboration.
