Serpentine queues outside the airport of a popular tourist destination, waiting to get into the airport. At every point in the process till boarding, there were serpentine queues with a lot of scrambling, jostling and some raised voices. The nightmare of travel post pandemic (not sure about that) and start of the endemic.

A very small airport with multiple airline carriers and two parking bays. At that moment there were; minimum four airline carriers whose passengers were waiting to board the airline, two airline passengers disembarking and not sure how many passengers and aircrafts were circling in the air.

An airline staff was reassuring all passengers waiting for security check and boarding, explaining the reason for the delay (due to the bottle neck of only two parking bays impacting all airlines). The staff asked all passengers from other airlines whose departures were immediate to come forward thereby reassuring all passengers that they will not miss their flight due to the long queues.

Interdependencies are common to all teams and systems. High performing teams, recognize this systemic nature of interdependence within and between teams and collaborate with each other to meet individual and team outcomes.

“What we lack is not IQ or EQ but ‘We Q.’– collaborative Intelligence. This cannot be taught for it first requires a fundamental shift in human ways of thinking, being and doing.” - Prof. Peter Hawkins
