But there is a lot of stress that can occur, because we’re working in teams all the time, whether it’s writing a paper or a research grant or phone calls. And if one person isn’t doing something, how do you handle it?

I know I would ask for advice early on about how to handle those situations because I would worry about it a lot, because I didn’t want to burn bridges or cause problems, but how do you move forward if one person’s dragging their feet and you need to do something? So I think a mixture of assertiveness and being even-keeled is really nice if you can do that. And if you know you don’t have the skill in a certain area, asking for someone to help you, delegating responsibility.

This is where a management seminar or something along those lines would be really helpful working in teams, that type of thing, ‘cause sometimes we do get stuck there even though we’re mental health professionals, it can still be, we’re very different. And how we work, even our work styles can be so different it can cause conflict, even though nobody’s purposely doing anything. So that’s quite a challenge. A good challenge, but it is.
