Why work together: in modern workplaces each person's success depends on others, so no role, not even coding or accounting, works in a silo.

Collaboration matters at work because modern workplaces are designed so that each person's success depends on someone else performing their role. No one can work in a silo: even roles often seen as solo, such as coding, accounting and software development, depend on others. The degree of collaboration varies from role to role, but the need is common.

‘ You can’t go at it alone’ is an adage that rings true in the workplace. Modern day workplaces are designed in such a way that the success of each person is dependent on someone else performing their roles. No one person can work in a silo. There is a myth that roles like coding, accounting and software development is a one man job and does not depend on other roles. But this is not true. The degree of collaboration may vary from role to role, but the need for collaboration is a common binding feature.

## Quick answers

### Do individual roles like coding or accounting need collaboration?

Yes. It is a myth that roles such as coding, accounting or software development are one-person jobs. They depend on inputs and work from other roles, so while the degree of collaboration varies, every role needs it.
