BACTERIA COLLABORATE BETTER THAN

HUMANS

BACTERIA CONVERSE IN A COMPLEX CHEMICAL LANGUAGE, IF THE THRONG IS SUFFICIENTLY LARGE AND LIKE-MINDED — IF THERE IS A QUORUM — THEY ACT. TINY BACTERIAL CELLS CAN BAND TOGETHER AND PERFORM THE WORK OF GIANTS. THEY CAN COMPOST AN ELEPHANT, FERTILIZE AN OAK FOREST OR LIGHT UP THE OCEANS IN THE EERIE TEAL GLOW OF BIOLUMINESCENCE.

THE SMALLEST IDEA IS A RESILIENT VIRUS. IT CAN GROW

INCEPTION

43

LET GO OF OLD IDEAS & BUSINESS AS

USUAL

INNOVATION IS NEVER A SOLO PURSUIT

YOUR BEHAVIOURS ARE INFLUENCED BY OTHERS IN YOUR NETWORK FAR MORE STRONGLY THAN YOU MIGHT

THINK, EVEN BY PEOPLE YOU’VE NEVER MET. OBESITY MAY BE

INFLUENCED BY YOUR PEERS MORE THAN BY YOUR PARENTS.

INTELLIGENCE & CREATIVITY NEEDED ARE IN THE CROWD

CHIMPS AND INFANTS BOTH INSTINCTIVELY HELP

ADULTS WITHOUT REWARD OR TRAINING.

FRANS DE WAAL & MICHAEL TOMASELLO

PEOPLE ARE MOTIVATED INTERNALLY

DIVERSE TEAMS, TRUSTED TO SELF-ORGANIZE

MANY DIFFERENT AND DIVERSE PEOPLE CREATE BETTER IDEAS THAN THE SAME

NUMBER OF WORLD-CLASS - BUT SIMILAR - INNOVATORS

IN THE LONG HISTORY OF HUMANKIND (AND ANIMAL KIND, TOO) THOSE WHO LEARNED TO COLLABORATE AND IMPROVISE MOST EFFECTIVELY HAVE PREVAILED.
