A colleague may need context before acting, another may prefer to prototype quickly, and another may look for agreement before committing. Naming these preferences can improve collaboration when paired with clear expectations.
Watch the overuse
Planning can become delay, speed can become rework, collaboration can become constant interruption, and independence can become isolation. A useful work style includes a way to notice its own limits.
