“Win-Win” was the biggest insight Adam Smith offered the world. With central decision makers trapped in Nation State gun boat diplomacy, and global pissing contests between birth-based containers competitively colonising the world… he suggested a different course. His bold idea was that people were best placed to make their own decisions, and that when two people agreed on an exchange with full transparency… both won. Agreement building. Trade. Generous problem solving. The problem with Zero-Sum thinking is you are wishing ill on your competitors. Things you don’t do become haunting waves of what if. Letting go of and wishing well alternative histories, paths, choices, and options allows you to focus simply on the problems you are working on. Not on the way you will be judged. It allows you to genuinely celebrate other people’s success, rather than seeing it as confirmation of your inadequacy.
