Cooperation

Notes

Cooperation is the method by which we achieve win win situations, it is part of our nature to cooperate People are inherently good, but we are known for being selectively cooperative. Usually it is only within our group to make sure we filter out free riders and others who uses our cooperation for their benefit only us vs them.

Cooperation enables us to overcome Complexity that is too large for an individual to face, and uses shared intelligence, resources and viewpoints to bring a solution peer support. Cooperation is also useful when each focuses on their own Competitive Advantage, offering what they do best while others provide what you are lacking.

Cooperation requires a degree of Humility, to recognize that you don't always know best, or that you can't do everything by yourself. It requires you to listen to the other side and understand them, to know what they need and how you can bring a shared solution, rather than treating them as the problem. people are not the problem

Cooperation is also a matter of culture. For example, an organization with Empathy and Kindness as the expected behavior, will have a much easier time creating moments of cooperation Ripple effect.
