How We Blend Collaboration and Competition

Building great teams is no easy feat, but we make it seem like it is. We use proprietary team building events and challenges to clarify the connection between collaboration and competition – healthy competition. Since collaboration is the art of working together toward a common goal, using competition to teach it might seem incongruous. Here’s why it isn’t:

• Competition isn’t a bad word or a bad thing unless it gets out of control. It’s born of ambition and the desire to get something done.
• Competition, when done right, can be an important part of personal development because it can help you challenge yourself.
• Competition pushes you to do more, see more, and want more. It can also challenge you to see beyond limitations you didn’t even know you were placing on yourself.

There’s a popular quote that reads as follows: Competition makes us faster; collaboration makes us better. This quote speaks of the challenge of building great teams who understand the beauty of collaboration. Think about it – in your business team members and teams often compete with each other. That kind of competition teaches your team to advance, not to retreat. It teaches them to aim higher, not lower, and to see and do more, not less.

The key is to use collaborative competition to reach sales goals – internal and external – to reach new customers and clients and to help your business reach ever-increasing heights of success. In this, your company keeps growing.
