Would you illustrate this with an example?

The lessons I've learned that remain in the foreground at work all 
strongly suggest that one can never count on an ideal situation, where 
everyone fits in, yet the work must get done.

We, more than most groups, cross the borders between office cultures and 
groups. We have to be able to shift gears and accomodate the ways other 
teams work, but I'm not sure that amounts to fitting in much beyond 
exhibiting the standard courtesies like staying on the paths and not 
climbing fences, or vice versa for "bad dog" groups and cultures.
