WE HANG TOGETHER

"The Role of Interdependence in Strategic Collaboration" - David Preston

NOTES:
  • "We need each other"
  • Interdependence is the opposite of independence
  • We idolize the independence of our heroes, but we hardly ever see the true dependency they have for others in order to become heroes themselves
  • Interdependence isn't as popular, but it is more effective
  • Everything is run by the people, but not necessarily for the people
  • The people who thrive in this dog-eat-dog world are not alone
  • We are not "fighting the drought"; we are simply dependent on the water that will keep us alive in dry land: this is "survival of the interdependent."
  • It is impossible to reach a strategic relationship when acting alone out of self-interest
  • We now feed off others instead of supporting them for a similar cause
  • People need to stand united, and people need to be supported
  • Few businesses reach out to help others by providing volunteering programs
  • The Internet could get this society back on track
OPINION:

"As long as there is profit in war, we will never find peace..."
