Unless you’re comatose, you’re capable of virtually anything you wish to accomplish. There are, of course, certain goals that you may never be able to achieve, such as growing taller or becoming governor.

Most companies obviously believe in and promote teamwork, so some may say that the responsibility is shared among team members. Yes, it is.
