Agreed. My style is to contribute to creating the goals of the team in addition to the projects. She'd probably call me a trouble maker haha! And I'd be proud to be one. Aren't computer programmers supposed to be troublemakers? We're hacking the system ... ;-)

Working effectively with other people is definitely a skill. Some people have it from birth and some have to learn it. One blog post isn't going to solve everyone's problems but it is interesting to hear her experience.
