Competition has been used time and time again to find and produce top talent in every facet of life. The term healthy competition comes to mind when we think of the times in which we are pitted against one another. While there are benefits to competition Malcolm Gladwell has suggested there are times when it can be detrimental. 

 

Oftentimes life is more of a team sport than an individual one, if we can help others around us, our family, friends and partners, it can be beneficial for everyone. Today, we discuss the benefits of encouraging and uplifting those that don’t quite have it down yet instead of forcing competition. We will always need competition, but in the future how can we pick and choose the times in our life to use it. 

 

Think in your life of a time when you felt like you just weren’t quite there yet either in your craft, school or your sport. Did it make sense to go against the best and then be told only they would be going on? Listen in today and think about the alternative approach to too much competition.
