Yeah.........the best advice here is to get a clarification of what she meant. "Team" can have several meanings and some people also value independent work, although in today's management style I doubt that's what she meant.

Its sad that a great concept is often "formulated" and then taught to people who have no ability to implement it. Too many managers at all levels are more interested in covering their own asses in anticipation of the next "promotion" that what has worked so well for the free thinking, imaginative types becomes a rulebook ill-applied. As a manager, I worked my way up without playing the game and tried to stay loose and creative. It worked well, but I worked each day believeing it to be my last. Eventually it was! .......But I had some spectacular successes in the process.

Go have a talk.
