Have you found yourself ‘shoulding’ all over yourself? One of the most common ‘shoulds’ we see in our clients is around ‘I should spend time with family’. Some have even heard (and believe!) the rumor that when it comes to relationships, both quantity and quality count. What if we told you that there is something even more important than either of those, that there is something that counts above both quantity and quality?

Productivity does not directly correlate with a decrease in employment hours. For most of the world’s productivity, it is not a pure product of # hours X # of widgets per hour. There is also a factor for engagement of the workforce. A worker’s engagement correlates directly with their perception that the job is helping them fulfill what they value most.

Time off is essential for mental and physical rest and rejuvenation. Taking time away from your work can help you engage your mind in different ways, leading to Eureka moments where you see problems and their solutions from a different perspective. At the same time, when you’re inspired and enthused by what you do, you’ll be less compelled to take time away because you’ll be empowered by the results of your efforts.

Challenges are essential for our learning, growth, and progress.. Without them, we may become complacent and overlook ways to advance our growth.

At most what you do is attempt to transform them in such a way that the potential impact leads to a perception on your part that you will be more likely to get more of what you want and less of what you don’t.

I’ve witnessed interactions with Amit and senior leaders who have, along the way, decided that they’ve “figured it all out”. Often, in dialogue with Amit and Kumar, these leaders quickly move from entrenched attitudes and beliefs to emotional breakthroughs, transformative reframes and spine-chilling “aha” moments.

Our argument today is that EVERY situation in which we find ourselves is an instance of cooperation. And like Owl, we will work here to help you see how pervasive cooperation is even when you are, or might want to be, blind to its existence. We will argue that it is worth being “conscious” of how cooperation is occurring vs being “unconscious” of it.

Competition derives from the old Latin words ‘com’ (together), ‘petere’ (to seek). Two or more sets of people seeking out the same thing. It arises because of some perceived scarcity of resources. That perception is a key driver of our decisions and actions.
