Cooperation

To understand that some results cannot be built by one person, and that sharing roles and knowledge improves the quality of work and life.

To understand that some results cannot be built by one person, and that sharing roles and knowledge improves the quality of work and life.

Cooperation does not mean everyone doing the same thing. Its strength lies in different roles, a clear goal and the ability to trust.

We need cooperation in families, society, work and volunteering, but it cannot succeed without clear communication and a fair share of responsibility.

How do we live it?

  • Explain clearly what you need from another person.
  • Share the information the team needs.
  • Give others credit.
  • Do not hold on to a task only to prove that you are indispensable.
  • Ask for help before the outcome is put at risk.

A question for reflection

Do I make cooperation easier or more complicated for the people who work with me?
