I find most “philosophies” regarding work to be BS. Honestly most teams just get too big. People don’t know each other and this allows things to go unseen for too long. When people know one another and work together in real time, and have healthy relationships, they can then evaluate each other’s work, rely on each other, and generally get the job done with a minimum of fuss.

I fully understand that some people are not looking for that kind of thing at all. Many would rather be nameless cogs, and some would simply rather not do the work (technical or soft skills). That’s fine too. For that latter group, whatever the management buzz words de jour are are likely to be employed where you work sooner rather than later.
