We do our jobs every day and we know how to deal with in doing our jobs. But when David asked us to consider every participant as a center of a star and then out people/departments that we connect every day in daily jobs, draw arrows to show how we receive/give things to each other.
I realised how complicated our relations in workplace and how important to develop our ability in teamwork.
That will make stars shine and twinkle.

The star exercise is good and fun to do. It gives us clear picture of doing our duties that involves with many people at different levels, and with different directions and approaches.
It makes us realise that everybody has roles to play and that we can’t leave out any one in a process of training management.
