Does It Make The Boat Go Faster?
Manage episode 434990868 series 2789921
Why do we do this?
Whenever we join together, there's a sacrifice. We give up time, resources or autonomy. So why would we join?
Humans have always joined together because some goals we can only achieve in numbers.
Once that was to succeed in the hunt or to stay safe. Now it is to achieve increasingly complex goals. Or even to have a stable wage.
We sacrifice something to get something greater together.
At the core of what makes a group effective is clarity in that purpose. When we recognise the payoff, we accept the trade-offs. We accept what we have chosen to sacrifice for the greater purpose we are striving for.
In this episode, Clark Ray, Tony Walmsley and I talked about purpose in groups and tried to relate it to why we gather to talk.
As Tony says, every group needs a clarifying question that guides every decision.
