Did I make something wrong here? It seems no sense to make a relation of many-to-many. Why could any forum have more than one state!!!

"I am a geek, I am friendly, I am a designer, I am strict, I am a business guy..Woow, I should be in the company's "A"-team!!"
If you really think that a company can have different classes of teams, then you are totally wrong. We can prove this by contradiction :)
Let's assume that a client calls for your service; a team will be assigned to provide the client for his needs. If he is lucky, he will get the "A"-team and get what he really expected; otherwise, of course he will be unlucky. When you claim that your company possesses a "A"-team, the later unlucky client will smash your head "Where the hell was that team when my project was under construction?".
On average, your company has not an "A"-team, customers will certainly turnover.
So, we agree that the dilemma is not individual; it's a team work by the end.
Now, you can start to ask yourself about your chances to catch the world's "A"-team.
1-Possessing Positive Attraction:
We are all influenced by the "Law of Attraction". Everyone has his own impact on his environment. You should increase your positive impact. Are you trying to deal positively with events which you observe around you? Or you just complain your bad luck and the lack of resources?
You should also have the ability to reject negative thoughts from people surrounding you and substitute it by your own positive ones. Know that what anyone or any source offers you; it is only one view, one description or interpretation of an event or truth. It is only one perspective of an interpretation gained from other third parties who in turn focuses on the topic and did not experience the subject first hand.
2-Building Trusts
Why trust is important?
" If you don't have trust, people won’t cooperate, won’t be
In The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, Stephen Covey talks about
Gaining trust:
Before searching for trust you must trust yourself.
Be aware that Trust is bidirectional relation. You should evaluate how much trusting you are in order to make a successful trust construction.
Check plenty of resources about building trusts here.
3-Self Motivated.
Why anybody needs self-motivation?
Because if you want to improve your self esteem or improve yourself in any way at all you first need the inner desire and will to do it.
But you cannot always rely on others to encourage you. To take up a new activity, hobby or challenge. The self-motivation is the way to "Initiative", without motivation you can't take any initiative on any level.
Increase your self-motivation
4-Knowing About Business.
Client-side:
Keep in mind the budgetary and time constraints that the client faces. This will help you define the customer goals and priorities in concrete terms. Further, it will help you to deliver a robust business solution through usable deliveries.
Tools-prespective:
Constitute a cross-industry perspective of the technologies you can consider in developing. You should keep some kind of aim at the different technology trends. Your attention should be varying significantly across industries. This can be done based on continuous data entries for the "benefit Vs mainstream-adoption" (can be called "Priority Matrix") for each technology such as Web 2.0, Ajax, Grid Computing, RFID, DNA Logic, Social Network Analysis, wikis..etc
The end result should be awareness (or at least prediction) of the following regarding each technology:
5-Listening
You start a project by learning and listening. The result will be a clear plan that ensures results for you and a great experience for your customers.
"There is nothing permanent except change"; said Heraclitus. That has been true throughout the history, but it is especially true in our exciting and ever-changing field. You should value the "Responding to change" and may be "search for it".
