True of False: Questions for Your Collaborative Self (applicable to all the groups and teams you are in)

The more people with a service heart and a service heart in a group or team, the better the group or team - everyone in a group or team should have a servant heart and a service heart.

There may be shy people or introverted people in a group or team, there may be reserved people in a group or team, but there should never be any isolated or disconnected people in a group or team. Everyone should feel connected. Nobody should feel they are on the outside.

There should be no favoritism in a group or team. No "I'm better than you" or "Only my ideas count". Everyone should feel equally valued.

Interactions between two group or team members should leave the other person uplifted, not diminished. There should be no talking down to, no teasing or ridiculing, and no shaming. Further, all group or team interactions should be warm and not cold.

The only kind of competition teams should indulge in amongst themselves is friendly competition. There should be no toxic popularity contests. There should be no toxic ability contests. There should be no toxic power contests.

Everyone in a group or team should have a voice and be attentively listened to. Attentive listening strengthens groups and teams.

Everyone in a group or team should feel that they walk on water. If some have work secrets, tribal knowledge, or privileged information, and others don't, this is an unfair advantage. Those without the knowledge and information should be given the knowledge and information as quickly as possible. The goal should be not to have some group or team members feel knowledgeable and capable, but have all group or team members feel knowledgeable and capable. This typically requires patience and humility on the part of those with the early advantage. Even more so, if they are team leads or managers. In time, the advantage should be erased. This is a good thing for the group or team.

True or false: there's a lot to think about when it comes to your Cooperative Self.

And a quote from Carl Jung -

"Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves. The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed. Your visions will become clear only when you can look into your own heart."
