Although a piece of work may belong to a certain section, there should be efforts to engage other sections to understand potential implications/ impact before change is rolled out.

JT : 1) everyone is aware of what is happening in the section work even though they may not be directly involved. And able to step in to support when the need arises. 2) build up the trust and rapport with other sections to have open and honest discussions .

Follow the Golden Rule: do unto others what we would like others to do unto us. If we can do the little things well in our daily lives towards each other (thoughts words and action) that not only aligns with the organisational mission, but also lives out our corporate values in authentic and personal ways - then we know the teamwork will surely take care of itself.
