Week 3: Free Post

Previously in Mr. Allens room 547, we were asked to read, The Role of Interdepence in Strategic Collaboration and asked to ingage in discussion. Myself, being so shy did not ingage in discussion. I actually found this article quite interesting, well for being a business article. One part that particularly stands out to me is when Preston talks about Darwinism. A quote from Charles Darwin, "A plant on the edge of a desert is said to struggle for life against the drought, though more properly it should be said to be dependent on the moisture. " Preston takes this quote and applies it to businesses and says, "How many executives and companies are deploying their resources to fight the drought when they should be looking for ways to attract the moisture.". I loved this because it made me compare it to everyday life, all the energy many people use to bring others down to make themselves look good can be used positively to just bring themselves up. It's kind of the opposite of "defense wins games", stop wasting time defending yourself from others, use that time and energy to bring yourself above. Attract moisture don't just fight the drought.
