to describe you when you’re at your best?

What do you think might be your two most
developed collaborative skills – skills that
help you to work together with others to
make positive change around you?

What one thing are you proud of having
achieved in your life that you did with other
people – and what did that teach you about
your potential?

More good news...

www.wecreate.cc 29


In the long history
of humankind (and
animal kind, too)
those who learned to
collaborate and
improvise most
effectively have
prevailed.

Charles Darwin

We may not have a selﬁsh gene

Vampire bats
share their food
with those less
lucky - but those
who cheat don’t
get any in future.

Wilkinson et. al.

We are designed to collaborate

Chimps and
infants both
instinctively help
adults without
reward or
training.

Frans de Waal &
Michael
Tomasello

Altruism is hard-wired and fun

Altruism activates the
mesolimbic reward pathway,
a primitive part of the brain
that usually lights up in
response to food, drugs and
sex. They also activate the
subgenual cortex which are
intimately related to social
attachment and bonding in
other species.

Proceedings of the National
Academy of Sciences

Trust is worth investing in

Trust is one of the
strongest known indicators
of a countryʼs wealth

A 15 percent increase
in the proportion of
people who think
their compatriots are
trustworthy raises per
capita growth by 1
percent for every year
thereafter.
Professor Zak

www.wecreate.cc 34


Collaborations last

62 % of new co-ops are still
operating after 10 years

vs.

44 % for new private sector
businesses

www.wecreate.cc 35


The network is (all) powerful
Your behaviours are
influenced by others in
your network far more
strongly than you might
think, even by people
you’ve never met. Obesity
may be influenced by your
peers more than by your
parents.

New Scientist, 2009

What ideas from you past might you
have to let go of to collaborate

We have a been trained to be
competitive, self-interested and fearful of
collaboration.

Our organisations are not designed to
foster open, collaborative innovation and
progress.

www.wecreate.cc 45


So if we want to create more impact -
faster, cheaper, better - we have to learn
how to collaborate to the best of our
individual and cultural capacities.

www.wecreate.cc

In the world of large institutional networks we face
issues for which hierarchical leadership is inherently
inadequate.

This is the big difference of our world.

That’s why ‘becoming a real human being’ really is
the primary leadership issue of our time, but on a
scale never required before.

Professor C. Otto Scharmer
MIT Sloan School of Management

Collaboration is a
leadership
challenge... a
leadership
opportunity.
