In the modern workplace almost every task we accomplish is dependent upon others to some degree. Most of us work in a world of interdependence. We depend upon others for information, for administrative support, for completion of work assignments upon which our own projects are dependent. And of course others depend upon us for the completion of their own work tasks.
Even a task as simple as making photocopies depends on others to maintain the copier, keep the paper supply adequate, etc.
While we tend to be evaluated and compensated based on our own individual actions and achievements, the truth is that often our work is dependent on the actions of others, and others are dependent upon our own actions. All of which can make it difficult to drive individual accountability.
