TIP OF THE DAY: Collaboration NOT Competition
Whilst competition is a driver of idea generation, collaboration is more productive for a number of reasons, including:
a) Collaboration enhances intellectual cross-pollination whilst competition restricts it.
b) Collaboration does not cause people to shut down as much as competition.
c) Competition increases evaluation apprehension.
c) Collaboration is more inducive to a culture of psychological safety and freedom, which encourages people to express their cognitive activity.
But for maximum output, a synthesis of collaboration and competition is most effective.
