When I am working with a team that feels effortless, a lot of it stems from trust and comfort. It means I have room to make mistake knowing that they have my back and vice versus. That the work we contribute is reciporcated through the process and it is not taken personal but rather in the lens of growth. The times I have felt exhausted is when I do not feel supported and sense a bit of judgment on my choices rather then helping one another explore. Another is resistance to support and letting our egos get the best of us when it is certainly not about us.
