Collaborate. I think that teamwork is an extremely valuable skill to have. Maybe during the project work, you could say to the project manager that enough time wasn't allocated to item X, or that deliverable Y was late as the team did not have the skillsets that were desired in the project timeline.

When I was in school, I was working in a team of 2 and complained to my teacher that my partner had just up and left, and I hadn't heard from her in weeks. He basically told me to deal with it myself, that's how the 'real world' works. I was sure he was wrong, but unfortunately, it seems he was right! :hehe:

I guess to an extent you need to look out for #1 - but you can't run everything by yourself, and like it or not, you need team members. Having them bring something is better than having them bring nothing. However, I come from a union background so maybe my thinking is way off base!
