Often in your association with a group of people or team there is a lifecycle. Working relationships come to an end. I think I have learned that in many cases the relationship only ends well because you choose for it to end well-not because it is ending well on its own. At times of transition, even healthy transition, there is organic tension. One must recognize the tension as a sign of transition, and not as an evidence of broken relationship. It's important to remember that it will not end well, unless you choose to end it well on your own.
