The result is an otherwise uninspired space transformed into a functional work of art.

Whether they are labeled a self-directed work group, a project team, a task force or a cross-functional work group, most teams function in a much more participative way than in the past.

Whereas now, as I near the end of my fourth decade, I realize work can be fully functional and entirely fulfilling without needing to be best mates with the people sitting next to you.
