Congratulations that is a very nice milestone to accomplish.
I’ve noticed even when people are given the power to shape something, some tools to build that foundation, and some light encouragement. Many just seem to look around at everyone else hoping someone steps forward and do the work. Naturally they will be there to pat themselves on the back when things get accomplished as they tell themselves there no "I" in team. Well shoot if go with modern day applefication of things it would be --iteam!
