"Better Than We Found It" - Integrity & Competition in Business

"Will we sit on our hands, do nothing about it?

Or will we leave this world better than we found it?

- Maren Morris, "Better Than We Found it"

International competitions have an amazing way to bring people together to root for our respective home teams and for a small moment in time, differences are put aside so we can celebrate wins and commiserate painful losses. Through all this, certain groups are gracious in victory as well in defeat.

This week, Ben and Syya look at why there is a collective appreciation for how Japanese fans and the teams clean up after games without fanfare. What is it that drives people to "do the right thing" and act on behalf of the greater good. Can it happen elsewhere or is it uniquely Japanese?

#Gnaw On This with us:

  • Can a culture of group integrity happen elsewhere in the world or is it uniquely Japanese?
  • How can we apply group success/failure within our own teams and companies?
  • What does it take to play hard during the game, but when it ends, shake it off?
