It is easy to think that people do thing that bother or annoy me. Where is the responsibility here? Outside me. So It is difficult to manage that situation, because something outside me needs to change for me to feel better. But, what would happen if I take the responsibility of what I feel? What happens if I can do something about how I feel? Yes... that is empowering! And we need to express such things, communicate. Specially when we work in teams.

There is no failure, only feedback.

— Robert Allen

Increase our ability to give and receive feedback as a team will help us grow. Developing this capacity will help us face major conflicts or prevent them escalating. However, we need to be careful with the context in which people are not used to give and receive feedback. It is important to note the target goal, and my intention: am I releasing something and feeling better, or will this feedback serve to the common good?

The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.

— George Bernard Shaw
