Don’t get me wrong great people I work with and they have my back all the time
When I go out prefer to be on my own don’t want someone with me
A lone wolf one would say
This is a question for all chaps as well as lady’s in you’re work do you prefer working with others or being on you’re own
Reason for question was that today I made a decision while out was good one as it panned out my decision making would been different if I had someone with me  |

I prefer being with others. I am dying working from home. I have that weird anxiety thing where you are super anxious around people but still crave social interaction |

I work in an office but have to leave through the day to check on work scattered around the North West although I enjoy the chats and banter of an office I find I look forward to getting out of the office to work on my own accord |

I whole heartedly agree with you but I get the social interaction from members of the public and the shops but think sometimes they think I’m loose cannon about to explode think during lockdown that’s what I missed now joe public is about now very happy you are all back by the way think I’m most happiest on my own |

"I work alone and I love it! I own a small yarn shop and chatting to my customers is enough to keep me from getting bored or isolated "
Think during lockdown was difficult period for me as no joe public about no interaction but hope the worst is behind us what’s strange though still seems very quiet  |

"Many years ago at a job interview I was asked for my definition of a team. I said 'a bunch of people who get in my way'.
In my defence I had already decided that I didn't want to work there "
BOOM!!...Thats the sort of thing I would say |

I work entirely alone and much prefer it that way, I have had office jobs and other more communal type jobs in the past but normally doing things that mean working quite a lot on my own things. My definition of teamwork is very much that I do this bit of a task and someone else does another bit and we end up with a finished product but without necessarily having to work together on anything. |

We have to work with others, very little can be achieved alone , even as a creative/ photographer I might shoot alone a fair bit and enjoy solitude when designing but get inspiration abs energy from others.
At normal work I work 50% from home on Teams and 50% in other countries and with a huge global team , lots of social stuff , so it’s perfect I would struggle in any other setup, I need both
Decision making is different , you have to make them yourself after consulting those you trust, then deliberate on it alone and be at peace with what you decide not them |

I'd rather work on my own. Give me the work and let me get my head down and do it. But I prefer having others around me for quick questions and just to chat  |

I like to work in a team as long as it is a team, a very difficult thing to achieve in a self centred universe. I currently have two pleasers, two secret squirrels, a self believer, a non achiever and a time bomb. Which makes us all on our own. Any excuse to do something different out of the office on my own I will grab it with both hands. If I am still there by the end of summer. I might just travel on my own for some months for as long as I can afford it just to reset. |

I can do both happily, if im on a intricate problem solving job i tend to crack on when know ones in on my own, either weekend or early morning.
But majority of the time we're a team working on 1 project. |

I work best alone.
I have been privileged enough, a couple of times in the past, to work in very small teams with a close and mutually complementary dynamic; so I do understand very well the potential advantages of teamwork. Both times those teams were made up of three people: me the autistic/technical/analytical problem solver, an ADHD motivator/powerhouse and the third person a brilliant people-person/negotiator. However, that kind of self-fuelling, beneficial dynamic is a very rare thing. |

I love working with people, I work in the office one day a week and look forward to it, we have a laugh and it's good crack. On the days I'm working from home my mates normally call in for a bit so I'm not alone often then either. |

"I'm looking for a job that involves me and secretary working in a stationery cupboard  "
There's another post where the world has lost the internet. Could be a job for both of you. |

I prefer too work with someone, and often do. But there are times it just nice to be out on my own, not that I stop for any real length of time, except perhaps for a Saturday.. |

I don’t mind as long as they pull their weight and I don’t have to babysit them at work. There is nothing worse than having to do all the work because someone is lazy/incompetent or have no common sense. |

It’s a skill in itself. For many of us we will always be more productive , think faster , make better decisions in a peer group but you have to manage that. Performance levels of top people are not just 1-2x average they are typically 20-50x and top performers are often disruptive and alienate good people.
You have to learn - to motivate people and find their strengths or work out how to exit them if they have character issues.
No good being smart of you’re people-dumb , you’re of little or no use. |
