It's not about making friends with people you don't like, it's about common curtsies and saying thank you. It's about recognizing we are all human and can in some small way support each other and most importantly help each other grow.

It's not about an easy road. In fact, it's harder to find common ground and work with someone you don't respect to move beyond that and get the work done and both grow in the process.

I like to joke that I've to train up my supervisors before they become good ones.
