27# 狐狸大叔 嘻嘻,您帮我提提意见就好!
With an intensity and scale of competition rising rapidly around the world, leaders in government, industry or other fields seemingly need more sense of competition. However, this increasing competitive trend is under a general environment of cooperation: more and more nations, businesses or other organizations have established cooperative relationship. In this case, I think young people should be instilled with the sense of cooperation rather than competition.
Admittedly, competition constitutes a primary facet of life, as individuals within any species strive to satisfy their needs for survival, reproduction, and successful rearing offspring. Being a kind of animal, human beings intrinsically have the competitive spirit, yet only few of us congenitally excel in cooperating with others. Unlike competition, cooperation is a sort of art and technique that requires amounts of exercises in both spirit and practice. Maybe this is the reason why so many disciplines, management and system engineering for examples, take pains to research how to increase the efficiency in collaborating. Therefore, it is more reasonable that educators should guide youth to focus their energies on cooperation, and master the method of cooperation as a skill.
Next, let's consider which quality is more desirable for leaders. As a sort of definition, leadership is "organizing a group of people to achieve a common goal". This explanation implies that a leader would not compete with others all the time, but always have to organize a group of people. It is true for NGOs or charitable organizations: competing with each other could be irrational for them because they share a common goal -- to improve this world. Additionally, apart from many cooperative relationships between nations or industries, within a single organization, a leader have to possess the skills to create and maintain a positive working environment, and to motivate the team members to take a positive approach to work and be highly committed. This is a tough task that essentially requires a strong sense of cooperation.
Finally, the increasingly competitive world is actually under an atmosphere of cooperation. Look at such groups in competing with each other: nations set proactive foreign policies for self-developments, businesses are interdependent for more profits, and researchers share the latest achievements for making breakthrough. All of these prove that cooperation, in fact, does not in contrast to competition, and vice versa. Moreover, appropriate amount of competition inside or outside from a organization could efficiently make it energized and develop healthily. After all, cooperation is the base of these benefits; if in a background of intensified competition, there would be fewer mutual improvements and benefits and thus would diminish the overall efficiency. In this scenario, required to build the cooperative framework in various platforms, leaders themselves have to master the art of cooperating.
To wrap up, competition alone could be beneficial only in a suitable extent; however, based on the ground of cooperation, this extent would always been controlled around the optimal level. What's more, since people intrinsically have the sense of competition, leaders, as the bellwethers in a high level, ought to master the art of cooperation. In conclusion, by being instilled with the cooperative spirit, youth would have more likelihood to be outstanding leaders in government, industry, or other fields. |
