We spend a good deal of our time at work, 35 hours a week or more. It's an integral part of our lives, so if you can it's always best to surround yourself with good colleagues. They make work not only more enjoyable but stimulating.
Their support and collaboration also helps to create a positive environment where teamwork leads to tackling problems and finding solutions. However, when we don't get along with our co-workers, time moves slowly, worse still is when you find yourself compensating for their shoddy work or having to work around them.

What does it mean? How do incompetent people get to positions of power in the first place? Is it possible to overthrow a kakistocracy? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
