What is the most important aspect about being involved in the business industry? – People. Most reputable businessmen and women in the field would agree that working with other people is pivotal in the world of business. This explains why organizational behaviour plays such a dominant role in evaluating the effectiveness of a business. When people work in an environment that they feel included and respected in, they are motivated to express themselves and work to the best of their abilities.

Bret L. Simmons is a credible business blogger and his blog on interdependence shows how people can not only work individually, but how this can contribute to the team working coherently as a whole. The people involved need to accept full responsibility for their actions and be held accountable, but they also need an extensive support network to supplement this.

In contrast to interdependence is dependency where one party in the relationship thinks that they don’t have to listen to anyone else and their opinion is the only one that matters. This type of relationship is unhealthy and is sustained by both the parties involved. It therefore takes both parties to change the relationship to become an interdependent one. This is where people feel supported enough to take the initiative themselves and ultimately has a positive effect on the business.
