May be the one

Scaffold

When you come across someone with the right attitude – which probably includes motivated, productive, happy and professional – you strap in and prepare yourself to go the extra mile: we can do this.

Set things up for pragmatism, productivity, progress.

It works the same the other way too.

When you’re exposed to someone with the wrong attitude – which normally means aggressive or mean or selfish or entitled – you shy away and prepare for the fight: I’ll be damned if I’ll do it their way.

Sides build trenches – us against them – and tactical manoeuvring ensues.

Which means … when choosing your partners …

If their focus is on winning a nil sum game – happiness for them is battle commencing. Is it for you?

If their focus is on service, progress and about finding the path … they may be the one.

Skippy strategy: Find partners who want progress and to walk the path together.
